I’m on a trial of Levothyroxine and was given the Teva brand. I have been experiencing bouts of energy followed by a total crash. I have never had such extreme tiredness. I wonder if this is a side effect of the Teva.
The good news is that after pointing out the mannitol problem to the pharmacist, she has ordered a different brand for me and has noted that I’m never to be given Teva again. I’m so grateful to her, as I was dreading having to explain the whole thing to my doctor.
On a different subject; I have had an eye infection for at least a month. The pharmacist gave my some eye drops that didn’t work. So I asked the doctor if she could take a look. She refused me a face to face appointment and prescribed really nasty, strong antibiotics eye drops which made me worse. Two weeks on I spoke to another doctor yesterday and asked him to look at my eye and in my ear as I had earache as well. He refused and gave me yer another antibiotic for eye and ear.
I’m getting really concerned about this latest practice and fear that there will be a tsunami of serious conditions not picked up.
