Itching on levothyroxine

[jengibbon01]

Hello everyone, I have just been started on a trial of 25mg of levothyroxine and I am experiencing some itching. Is this to be expected at the start? thank you

Yes I experience itchy skin, just another symptom we have to endure! natural thyroid would be better but I'm struggling to find a doctor to prescribe and monitor for me.

Hope it helps to know you're not alone at least.

Thanks for your reply. I've found I'm feeling really sick today when I eat anything. I've only taken one tablet, will the side effects pass and should I carry on?

If you have been prescribed Levo, you need to be taking something. Have you spoken to the Pharmacist? They might be able to suggest an alternative brand with different fillers?

I was prescribed in privately, I will contact the doctor about it. Thanks again for your reply
