Levoxyl pregnancy
Common Questions and Answers about Levoxyl pregnancy
synthroid
My dosage of Levoxyl pre-pregnancy was 150 mcg (down from 175 mcg when I was at my highest weight). I was stabilized at a TSH of around 2.0 and felt good. I had enough energy to exercise and work (I stand all day), without too much fatigue.
I just got my first lab results from my doctor and my TSH was 8.42, Free T4 was 1.30. I am very concerned about the TSH level.
Hi,
My Doctor started me with Levoxyl at 50 mcg (he said at this dose it had no additional fillers - he was concerned that I was reacting to fillers which is odd as he had me on 50 mcgs of Tirosint prior and pulled me off because he thought I was reacting to Tirosint (my skin was peeling). Interestingly he tried 75 mcg of synthroid (which I do have hay fever so that didn't work) and said I really needed 75 mcgs but I guess he wanted to see how well I would tolerate the levoxyl.
Medically, the switch from Tirosint to Levoxyl was totally painless, though I did go from 88 mcg to 100 mcg, but I was ready to do that on Tirosint, as well. I feel as good, or better, than I did on Tirosint. The best part is that my wallet loves the price difference.
I just picked up my refill yesterday, so I'm good to go for another 90 days.
I have been back on Levoxyl after being off it for 8 months.I felt good at first but going in to my third week -not so good.I feel very tired,legs are wobbly and like jelly at times.I just feel blah and like passing out at times.Is it possible the dose is too high?My doctor put me on 88 mcg when I was previously on 75.tsh was over 26 but I hear it corrects pretty qiuickly when back on meds.Any input would be appreciated.
In 2005 I had the right side of my thyroid removed. I've been on Levoxyl 75mcg. since that time and recently was put on Cytomel .5mgc twice a day. What would result if I had to stop taking them?
Thank you kindly for your information.
I am currently taking 25mgs of levoxyl and everytime I take the pill i get a racing heartbeat and heart palpitations. I have called my doctor and the nurse there told me to take the pill every other day. i tried that but then I would get the palpitations on the days I would take it. Then I called back after a week and was told to take it every 3 days. 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.
I will probably either go back to taking my Nutri Thyroid at an increased dose or try Levoxyl. Has anybody got any experience with this drug or Evotrox Liquid ??
Thanks for any help and advice you can give me.

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!
HI, I am 17 weeks pregnant. I take levoxyl everyday. As per my information I can not drink milk along with levoxyl and have lost the habit of drinking it since 4-5 yrs back when i was tested with hypothyroid. I also was tested deficient in Vit D 3-4 weeks back( I was 3 months pregnant then) and since then I am taking tums 750mg along with Vit D3 400iu chewable supplements 5-6 times/week. I still get leg/calf muscle cramps at night and while walking sometime.
OK, I GAINED 15 LBS IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS, I AM CURRENTLY ON LEVOXYL 100 MCG AND BEGAN TAKING TWO 5 MCG CYTOMELS TWICE DAILY YESTERDAY. I GOT BLOOD WORK DONE YESTERDAY AND HERE WE MY RESULTS, OH MY IS MY THE LOW!
TSH, 3RD GENERATION: 0.94
T4 FREE, 1.3
T3 TOTAL, 98
LOOKS LIKE I NEED A HIGHER DOSE LEVOXYL? I CAN'T AFFORD TO GAIN ANYMORE WEIGHT!
How is levoxyl for anyone taking it. I am prone to anxiety before my diagnosis is there any advice you can give me.
The initial hcg level was 51 and TSH 18 last saturday. I am on 112mcg of Levoxyl with a history of hypothroidism since 6yrs. My hcg and TSH rechecked yesterday and hcg turns out to be 198.My pcp put me on 150mcg from 112mcg Levoxyl since yesterday.Now I am worried about my unborn baby and any complications associated such as development/birth defects,etc.
Could you please guide me in the right direction whether to carry on with my pregnancy or go for an abortion.
Hi, there is anyone else having to deal with this Levoxyl recall? I have had hypothyroidism for 18 years. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's 8 years ago. I was on levothyroxine 100 for many years and did great. Then something changed, Hashimoto's Dr.s said...Been on Levoxyl 75 for 4 years and have never felt good. Tried Armour, too much t3 for me, I swelled up on Sinthroid. I am ok on Levoxyl I guess but now they had to give me the generic because of the recall.
I was taking a pill that was not round and believe it worked better, levoxyl (sp?) Are these the same or is one preferred over the other? I have such exhaustion it becomes difficult to do anything.
it was 1. something... im taking 125mcg of levoxyl. How much should i increase the dosage to? Im in any risk?
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. Someone asked earlier if this will ever go away. No, once you develop thyroid disease it is for life.
