So i have an endo appointment on thursday and need help in what to say to try and be given t3, iv been on levo 9 years and was ok for 9 years but then my brand was changed to teva new formula and my body just doesnt seem to tolerate it anymore, i get breathlessness chest pains limb pains and severe erratic moods anxiety and depression on and off weird pains i head, feel like im going crazy weirdness in head... iv tried all brands and the best of the bunch is mercurypharma that i am taking now, but cant go higher than 75mcg or side effects are 10 times worse just cant get my levels stable anymore...
I even gave the actavis brand 6 months to see if the side effects wore off but they never did it was horrible..
