levothyroxine strengths

My numbers after 6 weeks on levothyroxine. Had total thyroidectomy last Apr. Have been on several different strengths of levothyroxine. Can't get it right. Tsh was 0.15. After 6 weeks on lower dose today reads 0.690. (0.340-5.600) MICRO IU/ML FREE T4 1.52 (0.58-1.64) NG/DL TOTAL T3 100 (87-178) NG/DL Any help appreciated.

How about trying Tirosint? It's a new T4 med (out about a year ago) that's a gelcap; has no fillers, dye, etc. Contains only levothyroxine, glycerine, gelatin, water. It's basically hypoallergenic, more readily absorbed, etc...... Tirosint comes in a variety of strengths, including 112, I think........ I've been on it since Aug of last year and doing great with it........

I have several different strengths of synthroid (every time they change my dose, it seems like they do it right after I've refilled my script) and none of them say "synthroid" on them. They all have the strength (100,88,50, etc) on one side and appear to be blank on the other side (either that or my bifocals aren't working well tonight LOL).

I started having trouble with levothyroxine suddenly after taking it half of my life. I switched to Thyrolar 1 and absolutely loved it. then it disappeared from the market. I have been having a hard time since. I've tried the compound Armour, but it is made with levothyroxine. so no help there. just tried cytomel. lasted a month, constant headaches. hate it!!! Thyrolar will be back on the market, the question is just...when???

You need thyroid replacement medications - levothyroxine has 12 different strengths and if you are otherwise young/healthy then a full replacement of 100-125mcg would be the usual start dose. This is a severe case of hypothyroidism and with the positive antibodies is likely due to Hashimoto's.

Levothyroxine sodium is unstable in the presence of light, temperature, air, and humidity. Unless the manufacturing process can be carefully and consistently controlled, levothyroxine sodium products may not be fully potent through the labeled expiration date, or be of consistent potency from lot to lot.

I take 1/2 of the lowest dose of levothyroxine a day. They took me off of my thyroid medication and placed me on toprol for the heart racing. It is now a month later and my tsh is back up to 25. I will post the exact labs. This whole time I have been having extreme panic and shortness of breath. I have never had this in my life before now. My endo is basically telling me that my palpitations and such are not caused by my thyroid, but in my head and I need to see a psychiatrist.

5mg of Levothyroxine. 3 months later she tested my free T4 and my TSH. My free T4 level is .94 and my TSH went up to 4.5, she upped my medicine to 25 mg. I really don't know a whole lot about this even though I have done some research. Can someone tell me when to seek a specialist? Do I need to worry about cancer? We just went through cancer with our son so maybe I am just a little gun shy. Thanks so much.

I saw this in Endrocine Today (4/1/13) The American Thyroid Association has acknowledged a recall of levothyroxine sodium, according to a statement on their website. The drug may not be available until 2014. http://www.healio.

Eight years later I now weigh 220lbs. I have been on several different strengths of levothyroxine. I believe that it is o.k. just for today. Would I benefit from the old formula which contains both the T-3 and T-4 hormone? I am at my wits end. I have tried everything. I never stopped exercising and eating healthy;however, there is no indication in my weight and BMI (47%) that what I am doing is helping me. Would you recommend the naturoid for me?

Iodized salt, seafood, seaweed, supplements, apricots, and one of the many brands of levothyroxine or Armour. A good doc will tweak the strengths for you a little, but IF it turns out that this is solely a low-of-normal thyroid issue, you'd probably only need about 0.025 or 0.05 mg levothyroxine per day. Very low doses.

I'm 73 y.o. so it is not a surprise that I have health challenges. I've been on Armour Thyroid 90 mg. daily for 6 years. In the past 20 months I've also been twice treated for hep c. The first was in January of 2014. The treatment was grueling and ultimately I relapsed. In May of 2014 I was diagnosed with atrial fib. Had a cardiac ablation in Oct of 2014 which was helpful. I still have fairly frequent PAC's unless I take a low dose of sotalol (20mg twice daily).

25, 37.5, 50, 75, and 100. Also, the extended release forms of Venlafaxine capsules come in many strengths too: 37.5, 75, and 150. Most of the tablet forms will contain Lactose and Gluten. Some of the extended release capsules do not contain neither Gluten nor Lactose. It will help me very much, if I know the dosage form and strength. We might be able to find you a supplier that do not use Lactose and Gluten in its Venlafaxine. Thanks and be well.

I have been taking levothyroxine 137 mcg once a day for a couple of years. Can I stop taking it all at once or do I gradually have to get off of it?

I posted on 6/17/2015 regarding my concerns over having had one episode of AFib and being concerned with the levothyroxine causing another episode. The only TSH info I had at that time was that my level was 5.6. This was taken on 5/7/2015. I just received my lab results in the mail for blood work done on 6/11/2015. She ordered at Free T3 and T4 screening on this one. In my last post you requested the results. There was no ferritin tested and my vitamin D is ok.

Does anyone take Levothyroxine and if so, what do you think of it? I have heard different things. The doctor just got me started on meds and this is what he wrote. just checking on others thoughts.

He was started on a 50mg dose of levothyroxine . The difference of his over all health was amazing he began to feel hungry again his breathing improved. And he was becoming more active. After about 4_6 weeks he had another repeated blood test done to check his levels and surprisingly the doctor said that his thyroid still was not functioning properly and his dose of levothyroxine was increased to 100mg. This dose made him extremely sick. Bloated . Full of trapped air. Tired and constipated.

The doctor put me on Levothyroxine, and now after 3 and a half months, I have indigestion approximately 3 times a week, bloated stomach, and balance problems. Why should I take this medication when before I started taking it, I had no symtoms? Can I stop taking this medication? I'm thinking that perhaps I was born with this thyroid problem, and it was not a problem until I started taking the medication.

ive missed my medication. levothyroxine for 10 days. what side affects should i experience? i feel lethargic and have been vomitting ? is this to be expected?

Hello, I was diagnosed with thyroiditis and after going from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism I was put on 75mg of levothyroxine than my doctor said to only take half a dosage and now I've been off the medication for 6 days I was supposed to be done with treatment but ever since I stopped the medication I've been feeling dizzy again and exhausted my hair is falling out again my hands are shaking I have cold feet and nausea I told my doctor but he says I'm fine I was wondering could

without know you history I will say that you need to be on the levo for the rest of your life Your dose needs tweaking from time to time You realy should be have blood testsdat least every 3 months.I would suspect your illness is not from the levo but your dose needs to be tweaked and get you on the right dosage. In my case I have lost 22 pounds and I was on too high a dosage so I had blood labs and sure enough I needed to lower my dose of the levo.

I have been taking levothyroxine for 4 months now. Will I see any boost in my metabolism soon? I have been trying to lose weight, and can only seem to take of pounds (5 in 9 months) by doing excessive cardio (2 hours per day). I am eating between 1500-2000 calories per day and sleeping a lot, like 9 hours every night. Is there any hope or piece of mind for me?

my doctor told me that i have hyperthyroidism and put me on .05mg of levothyroxine to start with. i have read about alot of side affects and am worried about the hair loss and weight gain the most. anyone on this medication and can give me some feedback that would be great. i am already overweight, at 170 now i have gained almost 40 lbs in 4 years. my left eye is also larger than my right, she said it will get better with time.
