Levoxyl soy

Common Questions and Answers about Levoxyl soy

synthroid

Avatar f tn Large amounts of soy (like soy milk) should be avoided with thyroid issues, anytime of the day. Say no to soy. Google soy and thyroid. Soy is everywhere, so Its just easier to avoid the large doses. Diary milk with lactose removed is better. Almond milk from Blue Diamond is delicious and priced like soy milk. Almond milk and rice milk still have some soy in the ingredients but not as a main ingredient. To answer your question , anything but water can interfere with stomach absorption of meds.
1877796 tn?1320527991 Hi I'm on Armour, I was on Levoxyl and Levothyroxin for only a very short time, felt horrible, had lot of side effects. Started Armour over a year and a half ago, I'm just now to the point where my labs look pretty good and I feel real good.
299033 tn?1393301417 Hi, I need help. I do a smoothie in the morning that contains plain yogurt. An hour after my thyroid meds which now include Cytomel in addition to my Levothroid (13 years now). Do they mean calcium supplements interfere or ANY calcium interferes. This is really a turn off to me as I also do a green powder in the AM in the smoothie. I'm sure there are trace amounts of calcium (natural) in there and I take liquid minerals in the AM too.
916652 tn?1243290411 you will need to start on levoxyl T4 soon and if you are having symptoms you will gradually start feeling better. you will need your TSH and Free T4 done every 4-6 weeks until you get your TSH down to normal. you may also want to have your TPO antibodies checked to see if you have developed hashimotoos thyroiditis. any doctor who doesnt know what this means and didnt call an endocrinologist or send you to one should not be practicing medicine.IMHO. ggod luck.
Avatar f tn m also going through one of my itchy rash periods right now -- under my upper arms, on the insides of my thighs and lower legs. Noticed several other people posting about this. I take Levoxyl and am due to have levels tested. Has anyone found anything that really works to ease this itching? I've tried the Aveeno soaks and use Sarno cream. One doctor says it's yeast, another says it's atopic dermatitis and prescribes a steriod cream. Have had this last episode for about 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn thankyou that helps, you know I have this supplement called reliv innergize the ingredients are Fructose, maltodextrin, citric Acid potassium citrate, natural flavor, tricalcium phosphate, sodium chloride, magnesium oxide, ascorbic acid, bets carotene, L-Glutamine, L -Carnitine, OptiZinc Brand of Zinc Monomethionine, ChromeMate Brand of Niacin Bound Chromium Polynicotinate, I can't take the Reliv Classic that goes with this cause it has soy in it plus other vit that won't work with my Ar
Avatar m tn Hey Jennserb, your doctor is full of Balony, I'm on Armour, I tried Levothyroxin and Levoxyl and it was horrible, I'd find a new doctor right away, just the fact that he doesn't care how you feel is horrible. My hair actually really started to grow when i got on Armour, its seems thicker too. While on Armour, did you split your dose up? when i started splitting my dose I felt alot better. I'd give Armour another try, I'm pretty happy with it.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
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.
616450 tn?1228433627 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. I feel sick and nauseated all the time and have to go lay down even at work, so I'll eventually lose my job if something isn't done.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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. AquarianGlory This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/338035'>Levothyroid and mood swings</a>.
87651 tn?1259602403 After reading the contents, its says sweetened with milk and soy. I am on Armour, 45 mgs. Any thoughts? Or can we have soy, but within a certain timeframe of taking meds?
Avatar m tn I told them that I went on a strict diet in 2005. That I started drinking Soy milk and lots of soy related products. My hair started looking dull in March of 06. I got sick in April with a fever and my hair started falling out like crazy. Once I started eating meat and protein again, the hair stopped falling out (8 months later) but hasn't full recovered. I'm convinced the Soy Milk is what caused the thyroid issue as no one in my family has these health issues.
Avatar n tn Last year I was told my my endo. to not eat soy products and take calcium pill 4 hrs. after synthroid. This visit, she informed me I should not be eating high fiber cereal until at least 4 hrs after taking synthroid. I have to assume that 1% Special K would be OK for breakfast compared to the high fiber Shredded Wheat and Fiber One. What can you tell me about this?
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 f tn Many of us find that bloating, discomfort or other digestive issues can be resolved by eliminating some foods, such as gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, etc. The best thing is do an elimination diet for a few weeks, eliminating foods with these items in them, then gradually add them back, one at a time, noting which, if any, might cause digestive distress. I don't recommend adding back sugar or soy, since sugar isn't good for any of us and soy is a goitrogen that inhibits thyroid function.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn How is levoxyl for anyone taking it. I am prone to anxiety before my diagnosis is there any advice you can give me.
