Common Questions and Answers about Synthroid itching

synthroid

87651 tn?1259602403 I am wondering if that is a sign that I may need to increase on my meds. When I went to the 90 mgs of Armour.. I itched for a few weeks then it subsided. Now its returning. My Dr says that it could be the 3T, but doesnt think its an allergic reaction the Armour because he said it wouldnt come and go. Any advice??
Avatar n tn PTU is treatment for hyperthyroidism. If your on Synthroid you aren't really connected to a PTU treatment. The skin crawling sensation is a common talked about concern for thyroid patients. Its a reaction to the meds and in most cases not really a concern as it is a short lived issue. Usually two weeks its gone along with a mild headache for some.
Avatar n tn My Doctor ,mistakenly,changed me from levothyroxine to synthroid,same dosage. After taking it for 3 days,I have been itching really bad. Is there a connection between my itching and the change in medicine ? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/263782'>Synthroid versus generic levothyroxine (I have Hashimoto's)</a>.
Avatar f tn Decided that I wanted to stick with desiccated thyroid and after being on Synthroid for one day took Nature thyroid for one day. I feel that the itching is returning. What is going on?? It's supposed to be hypoallergenic? I'm on same dose as Armour 30 in am and 30 at 2pm. Thanks!
910435 tn?1296748610 Does anyone else out there experience general itching? I'd say it's worse on my lower legs, below the knee (shin, calf, etc), behind my knees, armpits, and breasts. It itches so bad, that I will scratch it raw. There are no visible bumps until after I have started scratching a bit. Very strange, but it's quite annoying. I have issues with eczema, and I have steroid cream, but it's a small tube, I can't use it everywhere. I"m not sure what to do about this.
Avatar f tn All of a sudden I have itching all over my body about 5 hours after taking it. I know it is related to the synthroid because if I skip a day or two I don't itch. My doctor and my allergist don't think it's the synthroid. Don't know what to do. I know I have to take it for life. I wasn't offered any alternatives except for taking 50 mug tabs because they don't have the dye. Still itches with that also. Feel like I'm at a dead end.
Avatar n tn t hear from the doctor, so assumed the same dose of synthroid was needed. Perhaps it is not so. This itching is making him miserable, and nothing helps.
Avatar f tn The cytomel has proven to be good and as you can see in my labs my t3 is good. I had the same problem even before cytomel. Anxiety with synthroid and itching with levo. I know I need more t4, I just don't know how to go higher without side effects. I'm wondering will the itching go away if I continue to go up, or can I take Xanax together through the anxiety? I need more t4 even though my doc said my labs look great. I'm going to see a doctor on Tuesday that Gimel told me about.
Avatar f tn I was on Synthroid for 15 years. Seven months ago I was taken off. My antibodies reading is slightly elevated but the TSH is normal. I have three nodules, 3cm, 1 cm and 1 smaller than one cm. The endo mentioned Hashi. I've colored my hair for many years. In the past year I switched to semi-permanent coloring (should be more gentle.) I never had any problem until the last two times I've gotten it colored (within the last six months).
Avatar n tn I started taking Synthroid 2 weeks ago and now my vagina is red, itching and burning. I did a urine test at my doctors office because I thought I had a yeast infection or urinary tract infection, but when it came back it was negative. I have applied vagisil, monistat and even vaseline, but nothing is helping. Does anyone know if synthroid causes vaginal irritation? Please Help!
Avatar f tn Hi, my problem sounds the same as yours, I got off of Synthroid after about 38 years on it, am now on 90 mg of Armour and am now itching every day, they are trying to regulate the dose, I started off low dose and now am on 90 mg, what did you do to fix your problem?
501096 tn?1320874932 resolved or not, but since my OB/GYN increased my synthroid dosage, my itching has disappeared. My dosage was 50mcg which he increased to 75 in April. In May he again increased the dosage to 100mcg and I am feeling like a normal human being again. Of course, my itching tends to come and go (for weeks at a time), so I may just be having "good spell" right now.
Avatar n tn I was allergic to the acacia/ pollen in synthroid.. Had the same issue .. Changed to levoxyl . itching and rash gone .
Avatar f tn I am a 35 year old female with hashimotos's Thyroiditis. I have been taking synthroid for 4 years with no problems until about 2 weeks ago. Broke out in hives. I know it is the synthroid because right after I take it I begin itching and stinging, and now some chest tightness.. Tried Armour and am having the same problem. Could it be an inactive ingredient in the meds? And, if so, what other options do I have?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Grave's disease about a year and a half ago. I've already taken the radioactive iodine five months ago and was also taking Tapazole (Methamazole 10mg). About two weeks ago, I've become hypo. They put me on Synthroid (Levo 75mcg). I have been taking it at night an hour after I've eaten. Been sleeping well.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been suffering from severe itching all over my skin for the past year..I've tried to see a dermatologis but found no result. I have had micro-adenoma with increased levels of prolactin and hypothyroidism. I have been on Dostinex and Thyroxine for almost a year. Is it possible that itching is related to any of the two conditions or a side effect of the medication I'm taking? Thanks!
327369 tn?1326119908 Was the addition of this med to synthroid or other T4 med helpful for you? If so what did it improve (i.e. fatigue, hair loss) and how much did you take? Thanks!
4121079 tn?1400268794 t have a question just stating what I have researched on my symptoms, I had been on Synthroid, Levothyroxine, I had started itching in April of 2014, till present, I Had went to the Endo, but He didn't think I was allergic to it, well I am allergic to something never in my life had I been allergic for anything to make me have rash or hives, this web page I found really answered my thoughts and questions, Even if you have hypo or hyper, you can experience hives or rashes before any treatment,
Avatar f tn 75 dose of synthroid. I noticed for three weeks before I started the synthroid...my skin started itching and I would break out in huge hives and then i started getting hard knots in the back of my neck and the back of my head. I called the Endo. and his nurse told me he said it was not related to me not having a thyroid, I kept getting worse and he finally increased my dose to .100 and told me to go to my regular family dr. for the rash..
Avatar m tn ve been doing extremely well on the synthroid and will hate to stop but if it is what can i do to control the out breaks. 1- I've changed my make up 2- laundry soap 3- facial products to help rule out these factors but nothing seems to be working....
Avatar n tn and have a few questions. Back in August I had a terrible rash over entire body / itching /swelling of hands that lasted for about a week and then cleared up on it's own. Well it came back again in mid - January. I immediately made an appointment with PCP. Since along with the rash I was having joint pain and swelling he wanted to rule out Lupus, Rheum Arth, etc. Thankfully, all of these tests came back negative. However the itching / hives continued until he started me on Zyrtec.
Avatar f tn 2 and my antibodies were 900 i am taking armour thyroid 90 mg. I also take allegra. I still have terrible itching from the antibodies or so everyone tellsme that it what it is. Is there anything else I can do to stop this. Does anyone else have this????

MY endo doesn't belie ve its from high antibodies or synthroid been to 6 dr's, HELP!!!! Seen Derma, Allergist, 2 er dr's my primary, and Endo!!!!
