Have you tried splitting the dose

Taking half in the morning when you wake and half at bedtime

Your previous posts show you do need dose increase

Ideally wait on this dose for minimum 6 weeks and retest

Are you working on improving low vitamin levels too

Constipation is common hypothyroid issue

lots of posts discussing

Bloating also common

All should improve as you get use to higher dose levothyroxine

Hi, I read your post and want to say I can relate to how you must be feeling about the stressful symptoms in your body. I have been on medication since May and initially wondered whether I would ever be able to do anything again. The doctor has upped my dosage and while Im still not at optimal dose, I am feeling so much better. Some days I felt tired and I still get strange symptoms but I am getting there. I was initially on Euthyrox and it really wasn't for me, in that everything felt unreal. I switched to Eltroxin and it has made all the difference. I also take Neurobion and Vitamin D and multi-vitamins and I try have a nutritional shake every day. I am also still learning so value your response.
