Common Questions and Answers about Levothroid mg

You should remember that I did start you on levothroid and I have been reducing your medication dose for last few years from 100 mcg a day as far as I can remember to the current 75 mcg 1/2 tab daily. I also refer you to endocrinology few years ago and Dr. ******* did your thyroid biopsy but did not give advice about whether you should take more or less levothroid.
Go to www.thyroid-info.com/articles/muscle-joint-pain.htm. They have mention hyperthyroid usually don't cause pain.
My MD has reduced my Synthroid, which I have taken for 44 years, from .150 mg to .1375 mg. I have no hyperthyroid symptoms and am actually colder and more tired than I used to be. The inability to decrease my weight continues to be an issue. My pulse is 66 and I have no heart palpitations. BP 110/66. Should my TSH level or should my T3 and T4 levels be what determines the amount of medication I require? I am female and 62 years old.
Was dx with Graves disease almost 12 yrs ago and had the radioactive iodine treatment at that time. Was placed on thyroid medication and seemed to tolerate it with no problems with allergic reactions. For the past 5 months I've been dealing with medication problems and difficulty adjusting my thyroid levels. It went over active and then underactive. I've been on both generic and brand name Levothyroxine.
m newly diagnosed w/hypothyroidism and have started taking .05 mg of Levothroid. I know this will sound impatient but after SO long of feeling awful and weight gain, I want to know how long you all think it will take before I start feeling better? I've only been on the drug 10 days, but I'm just anxious to start feeling better!
Forest laboratories make Armour, Thyrolar and Levothroid. Reading the article entitled "Does Forest Really Want to Save Natural Thyroid?" by Mary Shomon, it's obvious that Levothroid is Forest's drug of choice. Must be as cheap as chips to make Levothroid IMO.
"Forest's synthetic T4/T3 medication is unavailable/backordered/no return date, and Forest's natural T4/T3 medication is unavailable/backordered/no return date.
I am 32 and we r planning for a baby now. I have been on and off hypothyroid treatment from 2002. but my TSH was never higher than 11.5(thatz my highest reading before the last week's test result which is 37.62). My T3 and T4 are always in normal range. but i have a slightly higher antibodies.
My TSH was 7 in june2011 and so i was on Levothroid 0.025mg for 9 months. Then my TSH dropped to 0.23. So i was asked to stop my medicines. After 2 months i again took a TSH test. Now TSH is 37.62.
Hope someone can help. I have had low to no thyroid function all my life. I was on synthroid made by "flint" from the age of 4. When flint stopped making it I had to switch to the now "synthroid brand and have had several allergic reactions. My doctor switched me to levothroid made by forest and it was awesome no side effects no swelling in my tongue or throat. I had no swallowing problems.
Hello. I had a total thyoidectomy in 1995 and have been on a suppressive dose of Levothroid ever since. I have already developed osteoporosis, which I have been told is most likely connected to the Levothroid dosage. Recently, I have been reading about an additional connection between high thryroid hormone levels and Alzheimer's Disease. I am extremely concerned about this issue. If you can give further information, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
After the diagnosis of Hashimitos (I already have cholitis), I have been taking 75mcg levothroid and the node disappeared. None of my symptoms have disappeared, however. I gained 45 lbs in a 2 year period mostly around my stomach and my tissue around my neck (clavicle) are noticeably swollen. I have fatigue, sore, achy body especially my lower back and right hip. I am not the same person. I went back to my family physician and he did blood tests. TSH was high, but T4 and T3 were normal.
I am now back on Armour since they are producing it again, and take 120 mg. per day--same time every day. However, I feel tired constantly and my "brain fog" is worse than ever. Physician says these levels are basically normal and to keep on same dose. My question is this: at what point are the lab numbers "abnormal" enough to need a change? I'm sure it varies from person to person, but after years of this nonsense I have just about had all I can take. Any advice?
I got my results to TSH tests and the doctor put me on Levothroid. My number was 2.6. Is this high or low? I was reading about the side effects and they are enough to scare me away from taking this medicine. I'd appreciate any help from anyone familiar with this drug. I definitely don't need to lose any hair and don't have the privilaedgo ot time to become nasty tempered or hyper. I have a husband to take care of and he drives me nuts at times through no fault of his own.
So, the GP and I decided to lower my levothroid to 112 mcg. My TSH was about .67 at the time. The lowered levothroid seemed to help with the anxiety and dry skin and teeth grinding. I did not feel better, just different; it is hard to explain.
Then, after 7 months, my TSH came back at 4.63. Yikes! Doc and I upped dose back to 125mcg.
Within two weeks, the anxiety came back as well as the floating weird feelings and the headaches were nonstop.
I was on 125mcgs of levothroid. How much would I be on on compounded thyroid?
Hi, I'm fairly new, this is the first time I've really needed help. I took the radioactive cocktail years ago because I was hyper thyroid. I've been controlled fairly well up until recently. I was taking .1 five days a week, and half that dose on the other two days of the week. Tests were normal, but I couldn't tell you the numbers. When the dose was changed to .1 everyday the trouble began. My potassium was also very low. By accident, I put a full .
