[danym]

I've been for 2 weeks on np tyroid, first week on 30 and no on 60mg, my eyes are very dry, hair is falling out a lot, face breakouts, anxious, I got my period 1 week late.

anybody had dry eyes, mouth and skin on np thyroid?

Maybe you are increasing too quickly.

Maybe increase by 1/4 grain each time rather than 1/2 grain.

i did notice that on the 45 they are not as dry, but i feel very tired and jumpy anxious/panicky on the lower dose. So I assumed is not enough, I don't know what to do. The dr will not test me yet, she said to wait for 6 weeks. I did ask to try wp thyroid, maybe I will not react way to that one.

My eyes were so sore I had use artificial tears and my one eye looked swollen and twitched, I got the optician to check them for TED ... strangely enough they are fine now and I no longer have blurred vision.

How and when do you take it?

[danym in reply to meme]

in the morning, 60mg, I switched to wp tyroid today, we'll see how that is

Me!

But the brand of NDT I'm on is slightly different.

I've been experiencing dry eyes, mouth, nose, hair, etc. since starting Naturethroid a couple of years ago. Thinking of phasing it out for mostly T4 with some synthetic T3, since I have no thyroid.

How are you doing? Have your symptoms improved at all?

Hi, I tried Armour Thyroid for a couple months and although my energy and mood improved slightly, my skin became very dry and I had a psoriasis flare. I’m back on Tirosint and feeling okay, still a bit irritable and depressed, skin slighly better but still dry. It’s such a frustrating journey to find the right medication with the best outcome and least side effects. I empathize . I’m still working on it. Good luck!

Although perfectly reasonable to do so, you might not realise you have replied to a four year old reply on a five year old thread.
