Need HELP

[Batty1]

I just took my first L-Thyroxine from a new manufacturer and now Im having hard palpitations.

Old manufacturer was (Mylan) and I had no palpitations been on this for almost 9 months and my mail order pharmacy just sent me a new prescription but its made by a different manufacturer (Amneal) and now Im sitting here with a raging pulse.

I take (2) 50mcg T4 and 10mcg of T3 per day (I split the doses).

My T3 is the same manufacturer. Should I stick with it or should I say something? My pulse use to be in low 60s currently its sitting at a 100.... And I took ONLY took one of these new pill at 12:00 o’clock now its 3:00 o’clock and my pulse is going crazy.... not sweating or shaking just high pulse.

Suggestions appreciated.

Its a new manufacturer to me and looks totally different from the original pill (mylan) that Ive been on for past 9 months... it’s strange it would cause crazy palpitations.

Hellvella Im not sure what your asking me about new pill?

[helvella Administrator in reply to Batty1]

I'm just checking I have correctly identified it!

There have been some recent changes about who makes which product for whom. I wanted to be sure I knew which one you meant before looking further.

[Batty1 in reply to helvella]

Ok, I understand. I tried to look it up as well but so many different makers its mind boggling.

Your body might just settle down to the new tablet fairly soon. I had a similar reaction to Teva but after a few days it was ok. (I have avoided teva since though as it's clearly different.)

[foxglove in reply to JAmanda]

How do you find Teva different?. I find it difficult to get anything else these days, and I feel tired and lethargic...also dizzy. Don't know if it's co-incidence though!

[Kimkat in reply to foxglove]

I can’t tolerate Teva it gives me 24 hr headache, also Accord and Wockhardt. I only feel ok on Mercury Pharma and I always have a problem changing it at my pharmacy even though it’s clearly indicated on my prescription

[foxglove in reply to Kimkat]

I am happy on Wockhardt and the pharmacy see NOT TEVA marked on script. I have phoned Wockhardt and they have plenty in supply and as I live in Wrexham (it's our local supplier) I don't see the problem It's the surgery pharmacy being bloody minded I think!!!

[margritte in reply to Kimkat]

I am the same on any other pill other then mercury pharma so I always ask my pharmacy to make sure I get it. .

[Batty1 in reply to JAmanda]

It’s strange I took the pill again 2nd time and I was absolutely fine no crazy palpitations.... My body is such a hot mess!

[foxglove in reply to Batty1]

Me Too only my body is a COLD mess!
