1201433 tn?1328997637 This is not a side effect of Levothyroxine. What could be happening is the medication for thyroid may not be balancing the thyroid out correctly and throwing off other hormones causing this issue. My thought would be to ask for a full round of tests. Thyroid FT3 and FT4, FSH/LH - DHEA, A1C and your metobolic panel labs.

1063764 tn?1272821064 Hey I have been taking Tirosint for 3 months and I have had terrible side effects. I have lost so much more hair, I have broken out in hives, major headaches, memory loss, confusion, major depression, weight gain, on and on. I was taking armor before this and I had a lot less side effects. I felt so much better but the med world doesn't want to support armor for some reason so they fight against us taking it.
Avatar m tn 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.

1820479 tn?1317320956 Side effects/adverse reactions of levothyroxine are very few, since the actual medication contained in the pills, is the same as what your body produces....... the major side effects come from over medication, causing hyperthyroidism, which presents with the symptoms you noted or reactions to the fillers and/or binders used in making the pills, which can also have those same symptoms..

Avatar f tn 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.

765572 tn?1234697366 Can you take just Cytomel? I am on levothyroxine and feeling awful. I heard that this generic of Synthroid is actually not the same as Synthroid and that it is not as good. I heard some people have fabulous results on Armour and Cytomel. Why are Dr's so reluctant to prescribe these other meds? I heard Cytomel really helps with fatigue. All I want to do is sleep, it's awful.

Avatar f tn There are no known side effects to Levothyroxine, because it is biologically identical to the hormones your body produces. Weight gain is generally associated with have thyroid levels that are too low. I'm not sure about the decreasing hemoglobin - you should discuss that with your doctor. Yes, taking thyroid medication is a life-long requirement.
Avatar f tn The "side effects" of levothyroxine are, typically, those of hyperthyroidism (over medication). I think you misunderstood your doctor... TSH needs to be lower than your current 6.5, not higher and taking the medication will lower TSH not raise it. Is TSH all that was tested? If so, you need to ask your doctor to test Free T3 and Free T4, which are the actual thyroid hormones, whereas TSH is a pituitary hormone.
