Avatar f tn Based on my blood test result my doctor made a derision regarding my thyroid gland, and Levoxyl 0,05 mg was prescribed, My questions: 1. Which blood test parameters are telling that I have to start/stop taking Levoxyl? 2. Can I replace Levoxyl with natural products (some diet, using the iodized salt, etc.) ? Many thanks!
Avatar n tn I was taking Levoxyl for hypo-thyroidism and it was automatically changed to the generic form, L-Thyroxine. After taking the Thyroxine I noticed a terrible burning in the throat and indigestion which I never had with the Levoxyl. So I am requesting to be changed back to the Levoxyl. I think some of these medications have different ingredients. I never had this happen with the Levoxyl. I hope this helps anyone who has been put on the generic form of medication.
Avatar f tn Of course, many things can stress the adrenals and if one has an adrenal issue, that should be addressed prior to a thyroid issue, and yes, thyroid med should be introduced slowly. Of course, excess cortisol can cause weight gain, especially that spare tire around the middle that keeps us afloat in the water. In that case, it's not the thyroid med causing the weight gain; it's the excess cortisol.
Avatar n tn I am experiencing hair loss and thinning. Could T4/T3 help me? Is Levoxyl the same as Synthroid? Is there really anything that can help hair to grow back? I am an 80 year old woman, in excellent health aside from the loss of T4.
Avatar n tn I was put on Synthoid in the beginning for about a month and the doctor switched me to Levoxyl. I was taking 88mcg of Levoxyl and started having anxiety, so my doctor changed my dosage to 65 mcg. 3 weeks ago I started losing my hair so I went for my doctor's appointment and they did lab work and found my TSI levels were high (12) and they wanted them to be below (4) so they increased my dosage to 100mcg.
Avatar n tn s the backstory. TT 11/14, RAI 1/15. Started on Levoxyl 150, then Tiro, Naturethroid for a long stint and then after feeling skinny yet too hyper, decided to return to Levoxyl 125 and 5 Cytomel 1/16. I've been wanting to see if I can convert T3 alone so I dropped the Cytomel mid-February and raised my Tiro to 137 early March. End of March they raised it to 150 and I've been inquiring with friends when they noticed a drop in my energy.
Avatar n tn I too have bee suffering horribly since the return of Levoxyl it was my perfect T4 med while I also added Cytomel and felt great for 9 years. But the recall left me chasing another T4 med and I haven't been the same since. They have obviously added more fillets and I'm reacting to the fillets they put in it. I remember the good days when it' was slightly chalky and dissolved quickly on my tongue if I used water but today it's coated really well and really hard to break.
1129774 tn?1279831762 30 and eat breakfast at 7:00. I talked to the pharmacist and she said I can take the cytomel whenever. With breakfast I take all my vitamins Multi, calicum, mag,. probiotic, vit. d, and cranberry. Can I take both at 5:30 in the morning? Or should I wait until after breakfast. I decided to only start with one a day and see how I do. I am afraid of getting to much. Thanks.
Avatar n tn m on the brand Levoxyl instead. It was the only brand the insurance covered. My dr recommends a brand name and not a generic, so I chose to go with the Levoxyl. Turns out it's worked out well for me.
Avatar f tn I was put on thyroxine 25 mcgs about 3 years ago and felt horrible after just a week or so. As doctors do, they said the dose needed to be increased to 50 mcgs, I persisted with it for short while longer, felt much worse with skin allergies, mood swings and I stopped taking it altogether. I have been taking Nutrithyroid for the past 3 years and my levels have been reasonably well controlled on this. A month ago the TSH was raised at 31 and T4 was 12.
Avatar f tn Hi, Thank you for your concern, comments and suggestions. I did go back on Levoxyl a week and a half ago. I really appreciate your feedback.
616450 tn?1228433627 Folks, I know I post a lot of crazy questions, but this is for real. After the RAI I felt great for a few months. When the doctor put me on Levoxyl, after I supposedly went a LITTLE hypo, I started feeling like ****. I have more anxiety, can't sleep and my heart gets pumped up easily. I get out of breath real easy too. I think my heart is affected and I have chest pains.
Avatar f tn I stopped for 3 days to get some of it out of my system and felt great. Not as many palpitations and i was able to sleep. Today i took the pill and the heart palpitations started again. My question is, is it ok to cut the pills in half? Maybe if I took a lower doseage it would be better.
Avatar f tn If blood tests show no decrease of T4 and increase of T3 he will call in the change to levoxyl and add the cytomel. If there is an increase of free T3 and decrase of T4 he would like me to stay the course on 75 mcgs of levothyroxine until blood levels stabilize...but I think I will push for the the switch to Levoxyl with either outcome. Thanks for following up with me that means a lot. Can you tell I'm anxious for an increase in meds...so ready to feel better.
1139187 tn?1355706647 I am hearing positive things about levoxyl (brand). I am currently on a compound and i have been on it for about 8 weeks now. My numbers are getting pretty bad and the doctor says the compound is not right for me. My last full test showed that my tsh was at 65. The ft3 was 1.3 (range 2.3 to 3.9) and my ft4 was .4 (range .8 to 1.8) currently my tsh is at 115 but i do not know my frees right now. they are suggesting moving me from a compound of 150 to a levoxyl of 175.
Avatar f tn s to hypo, so I am wondering how long it might take for me to start getting relief and get back to life with the help of levoxyl? Also, does it help at all with weight loss? I know I'll have to exercise, but I can't believe all the extra pounds I am carrying are because of my diet. Thank you for any advice!! Take care...
Avatar n tn I was over-medicated on Levoxyl and had totally different symptoms, that were hyperthyroid symptoms like breathing trouble, heart palpitations, fast heart rate, insomnia, anxiety. These are very different from what you have described. In any case, if you are concerned about how you feel, I would call the doctors office to discuss your symptoms and see what they say.
Dinosaur There are no naturally occuring substances that mimic levoxyl. Armour thyroid is the closest to this-- this is ground up and powdered thyroid gland from either a pig or cow. It is very hard to keep a stable thyroid function with armour thyroid as the amount of thyroid hormone per dose can vary slightly. Hope this helps!
4274823 tn?1388529098 I see people posting info about Tirosint being costly, but not having fillers and dye. Is it the same case with Levoxyl? I would have to pay for any prescription drugs myself so price is a consideration.
Avatar n tn I have hypothyroidism and rosacea. My doc started me on levoxyl about 3 years ago. Within about 2 months, I was diagnosed with Rosacea. I finally made the connection about 1 year ago that maybe it was the levoxyl making my face so red, so I stopped taking it. And sure enough my face stopped being so red. But, I really need the thyroid meds so my doc had me take synthroid, this made my face red again with little bumps this time.
Avatar n tn ive been hypo for 13 yrs. I wonder does anyone else have dizziness, anxiety with this. I was in levoxyl for years until the recall, then went to levothyroxine .75 for about 2 years and it just didn't stay level. So went back to levoxyl .75 and the first 8 weeks seemed ok my tsh was 1.40 range 0.45-4.50 but was having anxiety thought it was stress because the vertigo dizziness started so the endo left it alone , we 3 weeks later it was if I never took the meds the tsh went to 4.
