levothyroxine

Up until 2 weeks ago i was getting mild neck pain but due to the last blood test i had the gp put my dose up to 125mg and gave me a prescription for more levo. As i wasnt near to my usual chemist that day i collected the prescription from a different chemist and noticed the levo was a different brand. The pains have almost now gone so could i assume it was the increased dose or the change of brand?

It could be either. Some people have found that they prefer one make of levo to another so I'd keep to that one for a while anyway as you cannot know if its the levo or the increase :)
