025 mcg levothyroxine side effects to get over took me 9 weeks went back to dr for bloodwork and was told me cholesterol had increased and my numbers had not changed so the dr increased my dosage to .050 mcg levothyroxine i started this the end of february and it is may and i am still experiencing tiredness, mood swings, depression, anxiety all severe why? and does this ease up?
It may be a combination of both stabilizing on the med itself and having the condition of hypothyroidism in general.
Many sufferers have this issue as I can personally contest too. I do not have these "real time" dreams at all since getting my Armour thyroid right - along with becoming optimal with my condition.
Do you have anxiety with your condition too? Most people that have built up anxiety issues from the hypo will say these dreams are more vivid.
Tirosint contains only 4 ingredients - levothyroxine, gelatin, glycerin, and water. There is no know reaction to the levothyroxine itself. If anyone did have an actual allergy to the fillers they can have a compounding pharmacy make up medication with just the levothyroxine in it.
That said, you can really suffer when starting medication. I found this out the hard way when I first started thyroxine.
Approximately 1 week ago, I experienced dizziness, head fogginess, eye blurriness, eye pressure, being lethargic, confused and the list goes on. I thought it was an eye problem. I had my eyes examined for eye pressure as well as the optic nerve. All were normal. I realized that it was possible my thyroid levels could be off. I scheduled a doctor's appointment on Monday and the results came back that I was at 8.5 and that I should be at 0.4 - 4.5. The doctor increased my dosage from 0.
Had a large tumor and total thyroidectomy removed 3 weeks ago. The past few days having dull but strong headaches that go into my ear, down my jaw into my neck. I'm taking 100 mcg of Levothyroxine a day and 2 Calcitrol a day. My calcium was very low after surgery.
I had the same issues when I first started taking levothyroxine. Everyone kept telling me that the levo doesn't cause side effects, but I felt like I drank about 25 cups of coffee when I took it!
That was 50mcg, my doctor kept increasing the dosage because my TSH was so high. Between 300 and 800. with every increase I just felt worse.
I have Hashimoto's Encephalopathy which is a lot different from HD, but still effects the thyroid.
Can levothyroxine cause fatique, hair loss, rash on abd,chest and lt side of back abd pain,nausea,emotional swings,depression?( Thyroid levels were O.K.) I have not felt right since having a tt 2 mo ago. Since being placed on levoxl 5 days ago these symptoms have started to abate. Is it related?
Has anybody gotten a stuffy head and "funny feeling" eyes as a side effect from SSRI's. I have had these side effects before but they went away after a month or so. I'm on Celexa and this stuffy feeling(like you are coming down with a cold) seems to be sticking with me. The med is working well except for this uncomfortable feeling in and around my eyes.
I've been on Levothyroxine for years and my eyes are just fine. I was suppose to wear glasses when I was younger not because of my thyroid at all the two were not connected for me nor have I had any bad side effects from the medication.
Hope that helps.
