I gave you a link in this post

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

to all the Levo tablets, liquids and Tirosent gel capsules and said that liquid Levo has quite a few excipients, and that Tirosint is the "cleanest" Levo, didn't you check the link?

Here it is again:

All tablets have fillers as they bulk up the tablet and also keep them stable. The PIL suggests we have a few different fillers but different brands can vary and it’s not uncommon for us to have an allergy to one or more. If you suspect this then ask your pharmacy for a different brand to try and see how you get on and once you are happy with a change of brand then ask your doctor to name it on your prescription and check in the pharmacy that you have it on your notes as well. Just in case I would always check they have given you the correct brand before you leave the counter as once you leave they won’t change it. Once when on holiday in Guernsey I went into Boots as wasn’t feeling too good so didn’t want it to spoil my holiday so asked the staff what they would recommend. I also said codeine upsets me so eventually after she had looked on the shelf she recommended one and I returned to my hotel to pick up my car and some water and saw it did contain the very thing I couldn’t take! Back down to complain and I got the usual spiel so pointed out I had said anything but ..... she did change it, whether it was put back in the shelf I don’t now but since then I’ve always checked myself and checked what the pharmacy have prepared as well.

I'm defo allergic to the dyes or fillers in levo. I end up with Vestibular migranes which are awful as you get veritgo etc

Sounds nasty but if you have the same problem with every brand-not all fillers are the same in every brand-then maybe ask for liquid but it could be difficult to get as it’s so expensive. So expect a battle! Good luck!

she prescribed me t3 but i got chest pains

[silverfox7 in reply to Carlylouise90]

May be it was too much too soon, we have to build up gradually or things won’t keep you stable.

[Carlylouise90 in reply to silverfox7]

I tried 5mg in morning and 5mg in evening with 3 beta blockers.

[silverfox7 in reply to Carlylouise90]

Could still be the fillers I’m afraid.

[Carlylouise90 in reply to silverfox7]

from the t3 or the levo?

i was 50 levo and become so unwell. Got ear infections etc fluid between ear every time.

t3 I just got chest pain and trapped wind x

[silverfox7 in reply to Carlylouise90]

My understanding is that all medicine contains fillers so could be either or both I suppose.

[Carlylouise90 in reply to silverfox7]

I seem to be v bad on levo. only tried t3 twice . 20mg which is equilaivwnt to 100 on levo and than 50.
