TEVA Levothyroxine problems

[rosie61]

I have been on thyroxine in various doses for 28 years now. My last lot of medication I was given NorthStar 100mgc and Teva 25mcg. I also have injections for B12 deficiency every 10-12 weeks for the past two years now. I think I normally have all NorthStar. I started taking the medication, about three weeks before my B12 injection was due, I started to get itchy skin, tiredness, confusion, brain fog and just blamed it on the fact my injection was due..... three weeks after having the injection I still have all the same symptoms with a case of IBS like symptoms up to 4 times a day! I have also been feeling very cold which if very unlike me. So last night I looked on here and there it was (hopefully) why I am still suffering, looks like the TEVA may not agree with me! Went to the chemist and had a chat and he has given me a month of Wockhardt to try. Fingers crossed it helps get rid of these horrendous side effects! So thank you every one for taking the time to post on this site. Will give an update in a few weeks to see how it goes.

If it turns out to be the Teva causing problems, please do a Yellow Card Report. They must have had possibly hundreds of reports by now, it makes you wonder if they ever take notice of them.
