I wouldn't worry about anything but taking the synthroid to get that tsh level up, so you can feel better. You may not have any side effects at all from the synthroid...there really isn't anything bad anyway....maybe just annoying. :) You will know over time if it is the right med for you....regardless it will improve your levels. You tested positive for antibodies so expect fluctuations in your thyroid levels.....sigh....welcome to our hashimotos club here.....we feel for you.
I was started on .088mg (based on weight) and had no obvious side effects until two weeks later when I suddenly had a panic attack. It was terrifying and a few days later I had another more mild one. I stopped the medication and immediately felt better for several days but then became exhausted again so I started on a lower dosage of .
The weight gain no doubt is due to fluid retention which is one of the side effects. You might discuss changing drugs with your Oncologist as there are others available but keep in mind that they all have similar side effecfts even though you mjight not experience them to the same degree.

Hi,
I started taking Synthroid .075mg last weekend (Sunday),.
Just a guess and a thought...angina can be a side effect of Synthroid (or any other brand or generic levo). Google "synthroid + angina" if you'd like to read up and see if that seems to be what you're experiencing.
Do you know your FT3, FT4 and TSH levels? And the FT3 and FT4 reference ranges? If you're slightly overmedicated (as defined by FT3, NOT TSH), it could be causing this.
T3 (cytomel or liothyronine) has a very short duration of activity and should be out of your system by now. There should be no durable side-effects and it would be unusual to see such weight gain and swelling from the T3 hormone itself, so this may have been an allergic reaction or other cause.
The anxiety, insomnia and heart palpitations are symptoms of too much thyroid hormone from any source.
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 ?
Don't know why they should have different effects since they are both T4. Did you change anything else during the time you switched that could have affected absorption or conversion to T3? What were your FT4 and FT3 levels before and after the switch to Synthroid?
My Endo told me when starting out on Synthroid and also each time he raises my dose that I may have some palpitations or "heart flutters." Each person is different. I have noticed them a bit, but nothing terrible. He said it should go away within a week or two after in your case, starting the med...in mine, when he raises it. Nothing to be alarmed about.
what side effects from thyrogen shots? I had pill uptake in Feb. my cancer is back,stage 3 pap. I got extremely sick from the pill,hopefully not so much from the injections.

One thing you will notice if you look at the patient information that the pharmacy hands out with a new perscription of Synthroid, for example, is that most of the side effects listed are the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Why?
Because during drug trials they were giving the drug to people that were hypothyroid.
Their hair was already falling out, although maybe they didn't notice it until the clinician told them to report side effects of the new drug.
