Welcome to the forum, Dinam.

Can you post your recent thyroid results and ranges and say how long you have been taking Levothyroxine and what dose you take?

Members are more likely to share sources when they know a little about the person requesting.

I had lot's of side effects from Levo , I eventually used thyroid-s. It is sometimes difficult to source , but use google and a bit of searching and you can usually find some from abroad and there is no problem with it being posted into the UK as customs are OK with it.

Please post your results and ranges as it is only guesswork without them. Levo may not have been right for you as you weren't onthe correct dose or not converting properly, it's not as easy as just taking the medication it has to be the right amount for you etc and we can't tell that without any blood results. But welcome to the forum!

Dinam,

The Data Protection Act entitles patients to their thyroid results. Ask your GP receptionist for a printout of your recent thyroid results and ranges (ranges are the figures in brackets after results). Post them in a new question and members will advise whether 125mcg is an optimal dose, whether a dose increase would be helpful, or whether the addition of T3 would be helpful.
