Common Questions and Answers about Synthroid nausea

synthroid

Has anyone had nausea as a symptom of their hypothyroid? In all the literature I have read nausea has never been mentioned as a symptom of hypothroidism and that is the only symtom I feel right now. Thanks.

What possible side effects can I expect while stopping my generic version of Synthroid for 21 day? I have a small nodule on my thyroid that needs ultrasound(or might be a sonogram, can't remember which they are going to do) Can it cause confusion, irritability, nausea, fog or not good high feeling,uncontrolable crying?

I have been put on synthroid about 6 months after realizing an allergy to the armour. I can honestly say i feel horrible all the time, when i take my meds i get migraines, nausea and i hurt, when i don't take it i just feel sluggish. I am up to 100 mcg and still increasing if levels are not correct. What drugs are yall taking that seem to work.

My 16 year old has been on synthroid for 8 weeks (75 mcg for 2 wks and 100 mcg for 6 weeks). Her TSH has fallen from 12 to 3.58 but her symptoms (fatigue, muscle aches, loss of hair, dry skin, nausea, throat discomfort, trouble concentrating) have not improved and have actually gotten worse. Her peds endo wants to up her dose to 112 mcg. The endo thinks the symptoms may be due to something more than the thyroid.

I have been taking synthroid 50mcg for about 8 months now. However, for the last month I have been experiencing really bad headaches, have lost 10lbs, very fast heart rate, shortness of breath, very lightheaded (feel very spacy or like I am floating), bouts of nausea and just a general ill feeling. Could these be signs of hyperthyroidism or is this dose to high for me now?

I also ran an interaction checker on all three, Tramadol, Hydroxyzine and Synthroid, Synthroid produce no interaction with the other two, al though I di get a "Moderate" Interaction on Tramadol and Hydroxyzine as below: MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

I am 22 and been on generic synthroid for 4 years now. I just realized why I had crazy headaches and nausea every time I missed two or more doses. The withdral symptoms I have include headaches extending from the back of the head to the right and front of the head, loss of balance & coordination, nausea, severe brain fog, difficulty with concentration and speech (slow thought process), memory loss, sensitivity to light, muscle pain, fatigue, moods get worse, and feeling like I will pass out!

I have had a stressful year.5 weddings, stress at work, my grandpa & 3friends passed away.I have been stressed, tired, forgetful, & feel warmer.

How do you avoid nausea? I started taking 50 mgs on Friday? Is an empty stomach a requirement for taking Synthryoid? How much water should I drink?

Upped from 88 to 100mcgs 2 days ago .. SO FAR SO GOOD .. only thing is nausea for about 6 hrs after taking it and then it goes away ... I will try with full glass of water tomorrow AM vs. coffee. I usually feel funky side effects for about 10 days when increasing dosage and then usually subside. Sometimes dizzy but not this time. I know I know .. full 6 weeks LOL for peak effects!

I have been having some sharp chest pains that come and go but I am having some stomach discomfort like nausea and I am really gassy ! GROSS but anyway, just curious to know what you think. All this has started since I have upped my dose of Synthroid from 100 to 137...well I didnt do it my Endo. did but I dont go back to see him for 3 weeks. Should I call and ask him ? All this is REALLY new to me so any Info is GREATLY appreciated !

Anyone taking synthroid find themselves nauseous (almost like morning sickness) andy time there is a does increase? If so how long before it goes away?

I have been extremely fatigued for the last month and have just started having vague intermittant bouts of nausea. Meds: besides Synthroid--Hydrochlorothiazide and Trazadone 50 mg. at night for sleep. The other change in my life was my 20 year old son possibly having sudden cardiac death, collapsing during marathon. After a month of cardiac studies , including three days in the CCU, his Dx was a rare form of heat exhaustion and severe dehydration.

I also have an underactive thyroid which I am taking synthroid for. I had an endoscopy done a while ago to check on nausea reasoning and was told I have a slight hiatal hernia. Could this be getting worse and causing my issues? I am sick and tired of feeling sick. I don't know what to do about it anymore, I wake up feeling sick to my stomach and if I am busy throughout the day I can ignore it but once I am sitting down relaxing I feel it and am really fed up....any help?

I was told by my doctor after a routine blood test that I have hypothyroid , I had no hair loss, weight gain or fatigue ,. tested three times same results . So I went on synthroid and the very first day I began having side affects .Horrilble headache , fatigue , nausea . and my hair started to fall out . To make a long story short , on the 7 th day of treatment I had to be hospitalized for cardiac a-fib . So the Question is why take anything if I have no symptoms of hypothyroid ?

(The surgeon said it was small and friable and he had trouble finding the disagnosed parathyroid adenoma). I was started on 112 mcg. Synthroid, which was way too much for me. (I am elderly and weigh 125 lbs.) Went down to 100 mcg., then 88, and then 75. Have been feeling poorly for about 10 days and find out that my TSH level increased to 5.30. It had been hovering around .95 before the lowest dosage. So, I have begun the 88 mcg again.

My doctor wants me to take synthroid instead of the generic due to the fact I had cancer. My sister has a nurse practioner friend that insists that it is exactly the same thing and the doctors get a kickback for pushing name brands. I have heard others thoughts about using synthroid vs. generic. OF course my sister thinks this woman is the end all and she may very well be right but I have to listen to my endo......any experiences with this?

Either we are sensitive to something in the generic or our bodies just don't absorb the medication correctly with the different formulation. Many of us on this forum swear by a certain brand - for my family it's Synthroid.

I've had double vision at times. Nausea. Insomnia. Constant heart palpitations. Very recently I have suffered from anxiety, to which one doctor basically patted my head and told me I had "panic disorder". Very frustrating. I saw my general practitioner last week regarding this and my Polycystic Ovarian Disease. My TSH levels were 5.38. I asked to start birth control to level out my estrogen hoping this might help a bit.

My son who is now 19 months old was born with Congenital hypothyroid. He has been on Synthroid starting one week of life. We have had numerous blood draws done to check levels and have changed his medication up and down until the tsh and t4 levels look good on paper. My son was doing great on the medication until the last change. He is now on alternated doses one higher dose one day and a lower dose the next. I can tell you exactly how he will be on each dose day.

i'm pretty sure i'm having a reaction issue with synthroid. i was overdosed on cytomel and am just starting to introduce a higher dose of synthroid back into my system. i would love to read your article, but keep getting an error page when trying to open. is there another link to get to it?

He told me that after 5-10 years the creator of Synthroid's patent runs out and other pharmaceutical labs can manufacture synthroid as long as they call it it's real name--levothryoxine. That is what synthroid is. The problem is this: the original manufacturer of Synthroid doesn't change the way it produces the drug. But from lab to lab the generic may differ in strength and IN FILLERS. If you are required to take the generic, find a generic that will work for you.

Worried about going from .025 mcg. Synthroid to 30 mg Armour. I've had tachy and a-fib which I hope will stay in the past. Does this sound like a reasonable switch to you? My only complaint at present is lack of energy.

Is there anyone out there who has had a negative experience taking synthroid but does well taking another thyroid replacement medication. I am desperate to stop taking synthroid because of my side effects (mainly heart palps), but my bloodwork shows that I need some kind of medication to keep my TSH under control. I am female, 30, and want to start a family and I know how critical it is to have your thyroid under control before becomming pregnant. I am so frustrated!

Okay, after all of my issues with my teeth hurting, dry mouth, TSH not budging, my doc called me today and suggested I switch from Levoxyl to Synthroid. What kind of side effects am I looking at? The dosage is the same. I've always taken Levoxyl, for 14 years. Now, after the thyroidectomy I'm just having minor issues like no saliva! Doc doesn't think it's related to the meds but he's willing to switch me to see if it makes a difference.

T4 medication/synthroid is not a DRUG that you have to be winged from. One T4 medication/synthroid, last in the system approx 6 1/2 days, then when considering all the other pills taken day after day, causes days/weeks of accumulation of the pills in our system. So I really doubt missing one day not taking the pill would give any effects either way - good or bad.

Has anyone had high blood pressure while taking Synthroid and Levothyroxine? I am hypo and I was given .50 Levothyroxine and I started filling shaky and light headed, I had trouble breathing and felt pressure in my chest, stomach cramps, headaches, and high blood pressure so my doctor told me to stop taking them and referred me to an endo who put me on .

My doc put me on synthroid ( now I am up to 112 mcg per day) Rencently I have been feeling ill , nausea and headaches.ocasional heart palputations , vaginal dryness. My labs came back as follows. LH 40.7 , FSH 125.2 prolaction 3.3 Estradiol <15 progestrone 0.4 , TSH 0.114 , T4 1.66 Estrogen level still not resulted. The nausea is killing me, I have resorted to Zofran 8 mg 3 times a day. Is this because of menopause or could it be too high a dose of synthroid?

I recently got started on synthroid 100mcg. I went totally hyper w/ racing heart, dizzy, unable to breath, high BP 188/105. Thought I was stroking out. Major anxiety. They are called "storms." Doc denies that they are storms because my thryoid is out. Well they are medically induced by giving me too much meds to soon. I was normal at 50mcg and the next week they threw me into a 100mcg instead of doing it slowly and I had nothing but problems.
