Actvis Levo

[GMason]

Anyone had good experiences with actvis? Looking to switch from Mercury to this.

It's the only make for me 👍

[GMason in reply to bantam12]

Did you have negative experiences with others? After only a few days of mercury I had -

Irritability, Mood swings, Restlessness,Inability to sleep

Muscle tension and twinges

[bantam12 in reply to GMason]

I see on your other post you are only taking 25mcg, have you just started taking Levo ? The symptoms you mention are also hypo symptoms, 25mcg is a tiny dose so more than likely you are undermedicated and/or you haven't been on it long enough.

[GMason in reply to bantam12]

I keep trying to start it but every time I do I get these side effects, I don't have them before starting it only when on them

[bantam12 in reply to GMason]

Are you giving your body enough time to adjust ? It isn't an instant fix, can take many months to get positive effects.

[GMason in reply to bantam12]

I have a severe anxiety condition so those side effects are way too scary to handle I'm wired anyway those things make me way more wired

[bantam12 in reply to GMason]

But they probably aren't side effects, even if you change to T3 or NDT you still have to get over the initial effects it will have as your body adjusts.

[GMason in reply to bantam12]

How do you mean? They were making me aggressive, surely that's side effects?

[bantam12 in reply to GMason]

How many days did you try them ?

[GMason in reply to bantam12]

I was on them for about 2 weeks and the side effects got worse and worse it felt like I had drank about 15 cups of coffee all the time

[bantam12 in reply to GMason]

Well if you think the Levo is causing problems all you can do is try another brand.

Actavis didnt suit me, but we are all different.. i tried them for 7 months but effects didnt wear off, i was having sever mood drops literally every 15 minutes, happy one minute crazy sad the next, felt like i was going crazy too, also head head rushes every morning from them.. im now on mercurypharma and alot better..

[GMason in reply to ThyroidObsessed]

Do you get mood swings from Mercury? I seem up and down like a yoyo and feel pent up all the time like I could punch a wall

[ThyroidObsessed in reply to GMason]

i seem to be ok at the minute on mercurypharma but im only on 75mcg and i know im undermedicated but every time i go up to 100mcg my ft4 goes over range i feel better hypo to be honest... your symptoms sound like your overmedicated as when my ft4 goes over i get pent up and angry and also get paranoid.. what dose are u on? i would try lowering it and see how u feel after 4 weeks..

[GMason in reply to ThyroidObsessed]

That's interesting, one time I took it for 2 weeks every day and I felt very pent up, the last time I tried it 1 a week, I then put it up to 2 a week and I started feeling really angry all the time
