Common Questions and Answers about Synthroid and dry mouth

synthroid

1274654 tn?1270932948 Coffee is a stimulant so it is likely it will make you more hyperactive. I used to drink a lot of coffee and had fast heart rate, and a very dry mouth. Only now when I drink say a Diet Coke, and I am now on thyroid meds does it make me go hyper-hyper...but I think it is to do with the fact I do not drink it regularly enough, so my body is more sensitive to it now I am on the medication. That's just my experience!
Avatar n tn I still have the ringing in the ears and very dry skin and my hair is dry and coming out. My T3 and T4 have been in normal range after taking synthroid.
Avatar n tn s and it took almost 2 years to regulate my medication. About 14 months ago I was put on synthroid and all was well. I have never experienced hair loss but over the last four months my hair has become extremely dry, it feels like straw. When I get my hair wet it give off a strong chemical smell. My hairdresser has tried various products and treatments and believes that the synthroid is probably the culprit. Has anyone ever had this happen? Any ideas to fix it?
Avatar n tn can you tell me a bit more about your dryness......................i feel like i am dehydrated...........my mouth is dry and at one point i thought i had oral yeast..............ive had all the other autoimmune test and they are negative.............how long were you on the synthroid...?.............i was fine with this generic the first 5 or 6 months before the dryness started.........i also take t3, and those levels are low as well............this is misery.........
Avatar m tn I can not seem to tolerate more than a quarter grain without experiencing some angina and the dry flaky skin has returned. Have thought about adding back in the 50 mcg of Synthroid with the quarter grain of Armour. Has anyone tried this? I can also go back to Synthroid alone but there was so much hype on Armour I figured I should try it.
280485 tn?1249013844 Last month my doctor change my brand from levoxyl to synthyroid since after week i am having muscles and joint pain which is killing me every day , it is so bad that i can coop up with my daily work and also very dry mouth i think because of that my tongue is white all the time .
Avatar n tn Having some weird symptoms (dry mouth, metallic taste) so I had my levels checked. The TSH was low but the T4 was within normal range. Doctor said since T4 was normal they don't worry about the low TSH. Just wondering if that was common? Levels are below: TSH: .023 (range is .35-4.94) T4: .89 (range is .7-1.
Avatar f tn I had Graves in 1993 and treated with RAI. Everything went fine until this April when my TSH was 0.04 (lack of diligence to check it last year). The doctor decided to take me off Synthroid for almost a months when my TSH was 52. All summer I suffered terible to bring the hormon in balance and of course, I changed the doctor. Now, the last test - 3 weeks ago - came up a 0.33 (taking Synthroid .112) and will have another test next week. My problems is my eating.
3093770 tn?1389739126 First, I had a dry nose and mouth throughout the entire 48 weeks and also for a month and a half after finishing Tx. At times my mouth was so dry I could not swallow, especially at night. My nose was also dry and crusty inside. Disgusting. Hope you are not eating, LOL. I measured my water and, in order to get the 1 gallon a day (4 liters), I was constantly drinking, day and night. Even without the measuring, I would have been drinking because my mouth was parched and I could not swallow.
Avatar f tn I have been on the liothyronine for about 6 days. Also My lips are constantly dry and dry mouth also. Anyone else have these symtoms. How long does it usually take for the liothyroine to start taking effect?
1027416 tn?1252355428 I had a TT in late August of 09, I'm currently taking 150mcg of synthroid and I'm severely HYPO right now. My problem is my endo is out of town for two weeks and I need an adjustment ASAP should I add 25mcg to see if this helps or should I wait it out? Have you ever taken a diuretic?
Avatar n tn I am having the most peculiar symptoms with no real answers. Out of the blue one morning I had a rash on my inner arms, and terribly itchy for that day. After showing that evening, it was all over my arms, but quickly faded and never has repeated this. My first thought was it was my Levoxyl, but I have been taking it for nearly 5 years (thyroidectomy for cancer), and taking that particular pill (88mcg) for over a year.
Avatar f tn 2 When I started taking synthroid levothyroxine I started getting burning in the mouth so I was switched over to tirosint levo (just a few days ago). I do have dry mouth sometimes (have had dry mouth on and off for years). Also I have allergies and get allergy shots (about a month ago I took a severe reaction to an allergy shot (first time in over 20 years).
369861 tn?1306275686 The last 2-3 weeks, I have had what we call cotton mouth, where everything is dry and my tongue feels as if it been burned. Its hurts no matter how soft or hard the food is and matter if its water or soda that I'm drinking. Could this be from the meds or is this side effects still coming from the RAI treatment.
Avatar m tn I have been everywhere on the web and here and nothing seems to fit, until i did some research and saw that dry mouth is sympotmatic of diabetes. Can anyone shed some light? Its more of an inconvenience than anything else. I can still swallow, doesnt affect taste, throat isnt sore, sleeping is not a problem. I should also mention this doesnt happen everytime and its also varies in dryness. I am going to be changing from a GP to Internest within the next couple of months.
Avatar f tn During the medicine for the reflux I start to have dry mouth and toothache . The toothache went off after 2 weeks and dry mouth is start around .My tongue started to have strange and irradiated feeling like scalding tongue and the upper wall of my mouth also have irradiated feeling . Now I start to have bloated stomach .I really don't know what the main cause of this . Is it anxiety ,reflux or other illness .
Avatar f tn Then I started oil pulling bc I looked up dry mouth and throat and some pretty weird things came up. Like sorts of gum disease. Oil pulling helps kill and pull all the toxins out of your mouth. I'm much better now. Still a little dry but I can sleep. Then about my hip (left side) I started stretching (the best I could lol) and made sure I had lots and lots of back,belly and leg support which really helped. I hope you feel better and Congratulations!!!
Avatar n tn I am a 47 year old woman with terrible dry mouth. I have had several tests and the doctor can't find anything in the blood tests. This is miserable! Could this be a symptom of perimenopause and is there some type of medication that could help? I have tried many over the counter remedies and nothing seems to help.
Avatar f tn Yea I have dry mouth and nose. I was getting a bloody nose bcuz it was dry. Try using a humidifier.
