Hi, I am on 50 Euthyrox everyday for past four weeks but feeling really sick on it. Has anyone else experiences this and what did you do?

Sorry you've not had any replies yet.

Occasionally posts get missed.

Sometimes an ingredient in one brand does not suit someone & another brand is better, so it may be this or it may settle.

What are your results TSH, FT4 & FT3 etc (with lab range)? 50mcg is standard starter dose most need higher replacement dose. Increasing by 25mcg every 6-8 after retesting.

Are you in US? Put country in profile. Many members advise on blood testing test companies for example but might not be relevant.

Hi, 50 mcg Euthyrox is indeed a starter dose. I have been on Eutyrox for 10+ years, and a much higher dose. The symptoms you describe... are very odd for such a low dose. I recommend seeing your family doctor, or a different one, and having a thorough blood test done. Best of luck!!
