Avatar n tn Levoxly's long term side effects if taken at the right dose are very rare, with the most common being hair loss nothing new to most of us here.
Avatar f tn 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.
1263014 tn?1318032697 He has had other patients with the same problems, so one night he took the inactive ingredient lists home from both types and did and entire spread sheet with fillers and possible reactions and side effects. For example, some contain lactose and if a patient is lactose intolerant that may cause a reaction. One cheap filler that is famous for reactions is talc and is used in most OTC drugs. It Is rare he says, but does happen.
428837 tn?1250007204 ) Plus, I pointed out to them that, should I be compelled to take the generic form, I will also have to take Atenolol and Amitriptyline to control the side effects I have when taking it, which is also evidenced by the records they have on me.
Avatar f tn 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. But, now that the forest company has had some legal problems with the FDA they are no longer making levothroid or any of the drugs they manufacture. I have tried the generic brand for levothroid.
Avatar f tn I am worried that he has some underlying problem that may be connected to his hypothyroidism or hypoglycemia and recently I found out that levothroid can cause serious side effects like chest pains. What should we do? Do we get a second opinion? Do we insist on a stress test (which wasn't performed in the hospital) Should we have them check his glucose levels (I have checked them here at home because sometimes he starts feeling "doped up" and dizzy so I check the levels here).
Avatar f tn I had my thyroid removed last year. I am on 300mcg of levothyroxine. I have had no side effects, except my body doesn't seem to be converting the T4 to T3 effectively. I'm going to endo next week and suggesting a natural thyroid, such as Amour. Amour is derived from pig thyroid, so as long as you aren't allergic to pork, maybe you should try a natural approach, instead of synthetic.
1182559 tn?1305787988 Should I be worried that it was a solid nodule that was found? Also I know my Thyroid is swollen especially on the left side. Will this go down eventually with just the medication? My last TSH level was 5.90 with a normal T4-FREE. My doctor just upped my rx to .75mcg of Levothroid.
Avatar n tn I have enough to last me till March but I am not pleased with trying to find something else to use after that with might interfere with my suppression as it needs to stays constant without incurring additional side effects. If you can suggest a good compound pharmacy that could make that levoxyl using the same fillers they use that would be what i am looking for. I know that Synthroid is basically the same but it appears to be the fillers that cause most of the problems. Thanks....
526566 tn?1212531197 Do you think it would hurt me to take my levothroid though? I have so many symptoms... Cold , dry skin, Major memory loss, weight gain, tired and lethargic. The dr. had me on it before then another dr. said Ill need it later but not now. SO i stopped taking it.. Now all these symptoms have happened. I am very active.. Work out faithfully. 3 miles on the treadmiill 6x a week.. I still gain weight. My hair is thin, brittle and falls out. What exactly does 6500tpo ab mean anyways..
Avatar m tn 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.
899045 tn?1241824973 I have been working really hard with my weight-loss, I exercise more than most people I know in my weight loss group, 65oz of water per day, 20-25 carbs, Veggies, Lean meats, no sugars, you name it, I've been doing it. I am also HypoThyroid and on 50mcg of Levothroid. My weight loss had been a upward battle, very hard battle. Anyhow, I spoke to a Dr. on the phone (My Dr. is out on leave), she looked at my chart and said that as we get older, we exercise less. I am only 35.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
Avatar f tn Many AD's have side effects that affect the libido, guess it applies to both sex es. As far as I know all AD's have this drastic effect . Hopefully you'll find one that's OK for you . Good luck.
Avatar m tn Yes, I've only been on it a week and I experience the muscle aches and bilateral flank pain as well. In addition, insomnia!
Avatar f tn THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY BEFORE I FOUND YOU GUY. SIDE EFFECTS MUCH MORE THAN WE HAD BEEN LED TO BELIEVE.PERSONALLY HAVE THE BLURRY VISION, ENHANCED JOINT PAIN, SWEATS, AND SLEEP NOT GOOD. FINALLY SAW FEED BACK FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT VERIFIED OTHERS FEELING SAME. ANYONE FEELING ANYTHING ELSE ODD? PLEASE POST. ALSO HAVE BLOATING, IRRITABILITY. AND CONTRARY TO WHAT DOCTORS SAY, I'M ALWAYS CONSTIPATED.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know of any side effects from using the circulation booster. I have the opportunity to buy a second hand one, but my brother believes it can't be good for your muscles to zap them so to speak, like it will confuse your muscles.
Avatar n tn Hi. I am on week 60/72, second round of treatment. I was really really sick after shot for first few months and then this resolved and became tolerable at least. I now find that I am having these same significant side effects later in tx. This didn't happen last round, but I went 48 then. Anyone else have this happen?
Avatar n tn i had similar side effects when coming off the depo shot. I thought i was pregnant and took 3 tests. they went away but it took about 6mo. My docs checked my hormones and pituitary gland and they we all fine. It's probably not the effexor but ck w/ your doc anyway.
