Common Questions and Answers about Levothyroxine withdrawal symptoms
synthroid
old young man) was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, so was put on a dose of 50mcg of Levothyroxine. After a week or so, he began exhibiting symptoms of mania, delusional thinking, and paranoia. He saw the doctor who had prescribed the Levothyroxine, and told him how he was feeling. the doctor sent him to the emergency room. That night, he entered a psych hospital and has been there for 6 days.
m wondering are there any w/d symptoms people have experience from coming off of cytomel? I have found that even when literature from the company and even a pharmacist wil say that a med has no w/d symptoms whem tapered correctly; that I follow dr's orders exactly and still get w/ds, bad enough to be incapacitating.
I'm not saying this is happening with cytomel, but I have noticed some increased symptoms due to the lexapro I've weaned off of.
t seem to be experiencing any symptoms of not having a thyroid. Or, should I go ahead and start taking this Cytomel as most likely I will start to expereience symptoms soon. I've heard people have some side effects (sleeplessness, headaches, nauseau) taking this Cytomel.
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you.
Hello again... I just want to ask how long should I go off/withdrawal from my levothyroxine medication (125 mg thyrax) before my tg level blood test as a routine check of any recurring papillary CA? I am from the Phillippines and thyrogen injections here is very costly and i cant afford it. My endo said I have to be off thyroid drugs for 2 weeks before the tg blood test. Is that enough to make me hypothyroid?
How long should i go off levothyroxine.
does an excess of amiodrone wreck a thyroid for life, am I on Levo for good?

I am a 49 yr woman with a 20yr history of Graves Disease. On Levothyroxine 100 mcg daily. I have symptomatic Bradycardia with occasional heart rates in the 200s. I was told that I will need a pacemaker. The new problem dizziness, nausea, belching. Back in February the Levothyroxine was increased to 125 mcg but changed back two weeks later due to high TSH (?). it was after the change in the dosage that the new symptoms started.
I decided to reduce the dosage as I had a dreadful withdrawal about a year ago while on Oxycontin. Is it possible to feel symptoms after cutting out one pill a day? I thought maybe I should lower the dosage to half a pill twice a day and did so but had weird feelings last week and the symptoms seem to be what others have written on their posts.
I came into the endocrinologist's office with hypothyroid symptoms and several large nodules that were biopsied and benign. My TSH, FT3, FT4 were fairly normal until the TSH levels gradually started to rise. It made its way to 6.1, so my doctor put me on levothyroxine. PROBLEM: the secretary messed up and instead of giving me 0.05MG I was given 0.15MG. Having no knowledge of the medication, I continued to take it until the three month check-up. Safe to say, I went hyperthyroid.
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?
I was diagnosed with Hasimoto's disease, but had absolutely no symptoms. 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.
Do I take Levothyroxine when my TSH is 0.66, total T4 is 5.6 and T3 uptake is 33.4%? I think I might be hyperthyroid, not hypothyroid. I have to take metoclopramide for stomach dilation and I take Diazapam plus other meds on the very long list of containdicated medications. Does anyone know?
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
Hi I have some symptoms that are causing me concern. I have an increase in white patches on my skin and after extensively googling as to what it could be I have narrowed it down to vitiligo or morphea which I believe are both caused by autoimmune illness. I don't see my doctor about this until Thursday so that he can know for sure what my skin problem is.
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.
My dog has had hypothyroidism for several years and has been on 0.2 mg of Levothyroxine twice daily ever since. Recently, when they did a check on his T4 they found that it was low and they increased it immediately to 0.4 mg.
A week or two later he began to significantly pant and wheeze. Then he decided to give him 150 mg of Theophylline twice daily. Could the thyroid dose change have caused these symptoms or is it a coincidence?
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.
04, and my family doctor is cutting levothyroxine from 112 mcg to 100 mcg daily. Nine months ago, my TSH was at 0.76. That was before surgery to remove a 24-cm (benign!) ovarian tumor, and complete hysterectomy. From the months before surgery through the month after, I lost about 35 pounds, then stablized. Since surgery, I've begun walking briskly for about a half-hour a day. This kind of consistent exercise is new for me, at least in the last 25 years.
I'm 70 years old.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroid less then a week ago and started taking Levothyroxine 50mcg and 2 hrs after I take the meds my heart races and feels like its literally going to pound its way out of my chest. I phoned my Dr with my concerns and she told me that it takes time for your body to adjust and to keep taking it until I'm re-tested in 6 weeks. My chest now hurts and I am afraid to take the meds. Anyone else have this issue?
I started taking levothyroxine as my doctor thinks I could be developing hypothyroidism. I have taken it now for two days, is it normal to feel fluish symptoms and have headaches/achy feeling? If so how long can I expect it to last.
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.
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid a year ago and was given 150mcg of levothyroxine. Everything seemed towork out and I started losing weight and all that good stuff... Then I quit taking methadone 3 months ago (after being on it for almost 8 years for an injuy) and my body/mind have recovered from issues I didnt even realise I was experiencing while on the methadone..
My point bieing.... Im starting to think my body has recovered my thyroid also..
m still having so many symptoms. I am on levothyroxine and my TSH is 3. It was due to constant headaches (every day) that i ended up having lots of tests and found hypothyroidism. However my headaches have not subsided at all, brain scans are normal and i also have problems with my long term and working memory. I know these things may not be directly related to thyroid function but i never had any of these problem until my thyroid started malfunctioning. I am still very fatigued.
