synthroid

2121656 tn?1395674749 I started taking 25 mgs. of synthroid on Sept. 4th, and right away I've had relieve from a lot of my symptoms, including indigestion & heartburn. Probably is the placebo effect. Either way I'm still symptom free except for the heartburn, that's actually worse than before taking synthroid. I am having it all day. Therefore, I'm not sure if the synthroid is the cause or if it may be caused from me drinking my morning coffee without taking the protonix.
168348 tn?1379357075 Not happy. Bad heartburn needing Prevacid .. Pepcid not working .. and what do I get .. ANXIETY from the Prevacid alongside my Synthroid. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is all I can say. Pretty annoyed at this stuff. Actually very annoyed LOL.
119341 tn?1232563757 I was told not to mix Heartburn med with the synthroid. To wait 4 hour after taking the synthroid to take any acid reducers. What about pain relievers? I must have slept wrong last night. I can't move my neck and shoulder without severe pain. Do I have to wait 4 hours to take anything?
Avatar f tn 7) Feel much better all my symptoms have virtually gone, apart from the odd palpitation. However I am now suffering from heartburn all the time. I never had this as a symptom before. Does anyone else have this and does anyone knowif it's because my TSH is now so much lower? P.S.
Avatar f tn Have you ever tried something besides Synthroid? Maybe Synthroid is not your cup of tea. My system couldn't handle it. Just a thought. I'm on combo therapy 150 Levothyroxine and 15 Cytomel. It's the only way *I* feel normal. And I tried a lot of meds and combinations of meds. I'm one year post TT for cancer myself. And it does have it's ups and downs...
Avatar f tn This is a medication question. My routine now is Blood Pressure and Synthroid meds approx. 6 AM. Hold off on eating any fiber and taking Prevacid for GERD until 4 hrs. later. I do allow myself non fiber eggs during that interval but my heartburn and empty stomach are uncomfortable during that time. I wonder if taking Prevacid 4 hrs. prior to Synthroid (middle of the night) would work. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I am currently taking synthroid 112mcg. for the past 5 days i have not taken them. when i did take it everyday, i have a stomach ache with lots of heartburn. i have had my medication switched alot. what will happen if i just dont take medicine for not having the thyroid, will it hurt me?
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I'm 28 and newly diagnosed with Hashimoto's via antibody testing after a journey of four years trying to figure out why my digestive system has gone haywire- gas, constipation, bloating, and loose stools and heartburn thrown in for good measure. Lately I've become quite sensitive to cold, have persistent muscle pain in my shoulder/neck, and have been dealing with bruxism. Blah. I'm really wanting to feel better as is everyone else on this forum!
475407 tn?1228535523 I was just diagnosed and put on Synthroid . How long before the excess weight comes off? I have had a headsche with the meds does it go away after I get used to the med? What kind of antacid is safe to use?
Avatar f tn Have been taking synthroid and blood checks regularly for my thyroid. Have had u/s also each year since I have thickening but no nodules. I frequently get a full thickness feeling in my throat and a sudden onset of DIB. My HR goes up to around 90-100 per min. It is getting more uncomfortable. Is this to be expected or am I having a symptom I need to be concerned about. Have talked to my PCP but de does not feel it is anything to be concerned over.
Avatar f tn My gastro (not my endo) told me to quit napping because it makes my symptoms worse, but there are some days when I am just so exhausted, and I need a 20 minute to one hour nap. Since I have been on Synthroid, I have had more energy to do stuff, and I actually ran six separate errands today, which is a record! I still need that nap, though. What are your opinions on the benefits/downside of napping?
Avatar n tn 088MCG synthroid. I feel very emotional and depressed in the last few weeks. How long before I feel better?? I did not feel like this the first few weeks after surgery.
2121656 tn?1395674749 Any suggestions on when it's best to get TSH, FT4/FT retested after starting synthroid? Would 5 wks. post be sufficient enough time for a more accurate result in how the hormone replacement is working? Also, should I take my synthroid the morning of retesting? I've heard it's better to retest later in the day. My only problem is I've to fast, due to my Dr. also retesting Lipid Panel & A1C. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I had a left hemithryoidectomy April 01/08 and have been on 75 mcg of Synthroid since. My T4 is still sluggish but my last TSH was 1.6. I am feeling very sluggish, believe it or not, especially approximately 3-4 hours after taking my Synthroid. Maybe it is just a coincidence. I usually take it in the morning. I am wondering when most people take it?
Avatar n tn I am new to this site. I have had very fluctuations in my TSH while on synthroid alone. I was on .225 mcg and yesterday my TSH came back as 22. It has gone all over the place. I can't remember the other numbers except the my free t3 was off. My doctor call today (wanted to confer and investigate)and changed to 150 mcg sythroid and 50 of cytomel. Just said to take in am with lots of water and not to eat for an hour. Do you think I should split the cytomel into two doses?
Avatar f tn I have nausea during day but no vomiting. Only med I take is Synthroid 100 mcg. I am overweight but no real health problems. After recent auto accident CT scan shows large gallstone in the gallbladder lumen and my blood work indicates: WBC - 17.8H, SEGS% 79.9H, SEG# 14.2H, Lymph% 11.70L, MONO# 1.35H, Glucose 145.H. I gave blood 2 weeks ago and the cholesterol was 247. The only thing they told me in the ER was I had Large Gallstone.
Avatar f tn I am having a problem with taking my Prevacid 4 hrs. after Synthroid. Right now my routine is to take Synthroid when I first get up and 6 AM. an hour later eat something void of fiber (usually egg sub.) The 4 hrs. later I take the Prevacid and have another small meal (cereal usually). The problem is something is causing a bad taste to come back in to my mouth sometime after all this and I am thinking it is because the Prevacid really is not being taken prior to eating.
554999 tn?1215444445 47 yr old female, DX'd with Hashimoto's 4 or 5 yrs ago, been on Synthroid, with no natural Thyroid function left at all, according to my Endo. Am on dosage of 125 mcg, but something is wrong. Endo says these symptoms are unrelated, but I no longer believe that. Tinnitus, weight gain (again), libido has flat-lined, stabbing headache styled pain in back of head, tight calf muscles, itchy hivey things on ankles. Weird skin rashes when exposed to sun. Constipation.
222011 tn?1265472048 They determined I have been having severe heartburn and panic attacks. I am scared to eat. My doctor lowered my synthroid back to 125 and it hasn't been as bad. Are there other options for replacing hormones now that my thyroid is toast? Any one have suggestions or thoughts?
Avatar n tn I take Omeprazole for acid reflux/hiatal hernia, and I take Synthroid for hypothyroidism. I also take Zetia every other day for cholesterol. All of these are working well, but I hope they are not the cause of my Gastroparesis. I don't want to take anymore medications, especially the ones that are given for Gastroparesis. Since I don't have the usual symptoms, do I really need medication for it?
Avatar n tn I had a thyroidectomy about 5 years ago. I am on Synthroid. Recent test showed my TSH level at 8.5. Doc wants to change my dosage to bring this down. What is the problem with elevated TSH? What are symptoms to watch for?
Avatar f tn t helping so he sent me to a endocrinologist who also raised my Synthroid to where I was on 325 mcg of Synthroid and I was still no well I walk off my career I had been at for 12 years and had planned on retiring from. I decided I had to help myself and I found a acupuncturist that was able to help me I now take .
