Levothyroxine

11/24/2016 | | 49moderated by Philip
Levothyroxine (112ug) for hypothyroidism

I've taken thyrax for years without any problems and now I am being forced to switch to this medicine. I got miserable very quickly. Hot flushes nausea headache dizziness at first I thought I had sunstroke. Went to have my bloods done and all of a sudden my thyroid was overactive. Normal values between 1 and 3 and after 6 weeks I was down to 0.03. I had 175 mg to start off with but then I was lowered to 125 mg but after another 6 weeks I was still only at 0.2 so I was moved down again to 112 mg. I still feel really miserable, really tired. Work half days with difficulty and I can't exercise. I feel like I am getting worse not better so my GP is going to try me with some different medicine. Must have patience. I was so good on the red pills.
