219609 tn?1210348114 5 so while off the water tabs. I was still getting jitters so I switch to 100 levoxyl for 6 to 7 weeks and I had been on water pills during test and my labs came back with TSH of .08 and free T4 0f 1.7 and no jitters now. So it seems that lower dose with different brand got me right, but afraid the labs were miss lead do to water tabs. I thought it would make my labs in the high range. Your thoughts on this and the warning told that water pill can effect Thyroid panel test.
Avatar n tn Was diagnosed as midly hypothyroid, TSH of 6.5, a few years ago and was put on 50 mcg of levoxyl. TSH was normal while on treatment. I recently became pregnant. Was so naseous during early pregnancy that couldn't keep levoxyl down / in system. Stopped taking for a few weeks, and had TSH tested at 6 weeks pregnant. TSH was 1.6, so the doctor told me to not resume taking levoxyl. TSH has been tested every 6 weeks since then and has been within normal range - between 1.0 and 2.
Avatar f tn I went to the pharmacy to pick up my Armour and was quite surprised to hear that there is a national shortage and that natural desicrated thyriod may be pulled off the market. I was only able to get 4 tabs. The last they had and they aren't aware of any other pharmacies that have any left. Over the years I've tried various forms of thyroid replacement and have suffered too many problems to count.
Avatar f tn Also I take 88mcg Levoxyl a day and 2 5mcg tabs of Cytomel in the am and 1 in the afternoon.
616450 tn?1228433627 I had RAI done over three months ago and about a month ago I was finally a little hypo. The doc started me on 25 mcg of Levoxyl and increased the dose about three weeks later to 50 mcg without even doing blood work. Since I've been on this stuff I could swear I feel worse. Along with the severe anxiety and depression, now I feel almost like I have the flu or fever--but I don't. I keep going to the ER and the bills are piling up.
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>.
Avatar f tn I currently take Levothyroxine 88mcg tabs and Liothyronine Sod 5 mcg tabs (The Liothyronine was added when I was very low) in the morning. My current "T" tests are TSH 0.36 (normal range .34-4.82), T4Free 1.43 (normal range 0.8-1.80), and T3Total 94 (normal range 87-167) I have not worked for over a year now, weight gain in the passed 2 years 25 pounds (never ever had weight problems), exhausted (want to sleep all the time) do not sleep well at all.
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 have always taken name brand synthroid until a yr ago when i switched to a big box store generic of 90 tabs for $10-- somewhere along the line, i was lead to believe that the generics were inferior. That is another question I would like addressed by anyone. I have also had hypo symptoms which i have attributed to depression and menopause.
Avatar m tn I`ve heard so much about Stress Tabs and was wondering if they help ? If not what would help ?
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.
Avatar f tn Is it common for a tsh level to vary from high to low while on the same dose of Levoxyl? I am very aware if my levels change even just a little bit, but I usually just deal with it because it will eventually get back to a normal level for me. I had a thyroidectomy when I was 11 yrs old and have been taking Levoxyl since (I am now 40). I had to find a new Endo. dr. and it's like starting all over again to get him to understand that my levels will go up and down even on the same dose.
7074596 tn?1387754708 been taking levoxyl for a few years.Recently my insurance substituted synthroid.Dont feel comfortable with this change.
Avatar n tn 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.
