I think you are being kind to the medical profession. I provided a roadmap of symptoms to my cast of practitioners. They were clueless. And unwilling to recognize my symptoms were real. Incompetency only begins to explain my doctor experience. I’m glad you are doing better.

I am so sorry you went through that! I've dealt with depression on and off for close to 20 years. I was diagnosed with severe reoccurring depressive disorder several years ago. Also, I just got diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I'm going to get the script later today. Can't help but wonder how much the thyroid issue has contributed to the depression. I'm trying to find out what I should expect from the medicine cause I didn't get to talk to my doctor about this. They found out about the hypothyroidism after my doctor appointment and ended up calling me a couple days later about it. So I'll have to wait to talk to him til my appointment next month. So I'm resorting to KZfaq for now. What did you guys notice from the medicine? What did it do and how did it make you feel?

I am having my eyes operated on Cataracts removed, I don’t know if the same kind of eye problem people have with low thyroid I just found out like 4 months ago, after one month I felt great I was getting up and doing things which I haven’t done in for ever saw the doctor said OK let’s give her a little more and he did and I’m back to square one😥

ME TOO!!! HAHA LITERALLY MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS... LASIC, AND LEVYTHRYROXINE!!!!!

Thank you Michael... Blank acc!

Is there other ways you can have a throid problem I was diagnosed and don't know how I got it

Is it common in men too?

Jose Lopez I really don’t know how low thyroidism is developed other then how I got it. Check your heart one every 6 months because I read online that it can also masquerade as heart disease.

How much do you take Anthony?

By any chance do u know what your dosage is?

have you checked if it converts T4 in T3? levo is giving me lots of anxiety, I have hashimoto thyroiditis as well but I am 29 and started a few months ago

Stephanie Tucker you are lucky child that you are fine with it, mostly people don’t get completely better with it.

Really, wow, God Bless you, thank God you found out at an early age.

@@amedeocristiano4181 it comes with anxiety, it does that to me, so what I do is I go out jogging and then it stops on its own from there.

Girls love voice in guys. I noted it several times. Greetings from Chile, South America.

Yes! Ask your Doctor to check your Free T3 and Free T4 levels as well as TSH to make sure yur body is properly converting the Levothyroxine properly. You can feel bad again after a week when your body isn't processing the meds into what you need. You may need to take Cytomel (T3) along side the other meds.

@@beckyd712 thank you for the reply, my T3 is normal now. However I still don’t feel as good as I felt the first week started taking the medication. My TSH is good and my T3 as well. It’s just very weird thing that even doctors couldn’t understand the issue.

Same. First few weeks felt great, probably because I was so unwell. But unfortunately it didn’t last, I still have all the old symptoms, just not as bad, but still feel like crap all the time.

@@The_Real_DreamM have you seen your doctor again?

You can do yoga. There are some yoga which are very good in thyroid and they completely cure throid. I cured mine also.

I know it's been 2 years but how do u feel now?

Does hair lose stop?

Same

Yes I go through that also sometimes. I just run it off and it stops on its own.

@@Anthony-nq4ki I wish it were that easy for me.

Same here, I had mine removed due to cancer. I have to use a lot of willpower and regiment tasks to manage my body and emotions now. Once mine was removed, I told people it felt like my "inhibitor" was taken off.

Watch youtube ' terapia metabolica del cancer' spanish and English. They have fantastic books.

Armour thyroid works for me. No side effects and feel great. I started with Grave's. I didn't allow them to destroy my thyroid. One endo was honest and told me eventually you will go hypo. I now have Hashimoto's and on Armour. Endo are hooked on synthetic drugs so it is hard finding one to deviate to Armour. They are thoroughly brainwashed and behave like robots.

Heal your gut first before you take anything. Research Dr Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Berg on thyroid issues. They have tons of awesome videos and helped thousands of people reversed their hypo, hyper, graves, hashi etc… and to get off synthetic drugs prescribed for thyroid issues.

Yep...ths n it's can vary...depending. Not medics fault. Glad your mum OK. What dose is she on?

All thumbs up to this are empty accounts!!!???😉

Thinking The Same. Very Relaxad Fillings 💕😊 Thank You!

Really no sense in taking it if you don't feel good while taking. The purpose is to make you feel better.

I am not sure its causeing the headache because I am on other medication

@@cecilecharlery3971 May be time to start getting off of pharmaceutical drugs.

Bacause levo shut down pituitary,you are not converting properly t4

for gain weight is all water i toll my doctor i want water pills 12.5 MG it work very good i take them every anther day

Can you please tell what happened

Kitna mg ki di the

This happened to me a few months back. It was so bad I couldn’t wear flip flops and the skin on my fingers was cracked.

@@KFS90 I was diagnosed with hashimoto. Doctor prescribed rupanase which is an antihistamine which helped me alot Also filing palms and palms helps

@KFS90 Me too! But our great physician, JESUS CHRIST is able to heal us of this complicated disease. We only need to earnestly pray over this.

I work in a Dr's surgery dispensary, I have't come across anyone on such a huge dose of 400mcg a day, might be worth having a conversation with your prescriber.

@@briancorcoran9888 I don't know...all I know is that when I stop taking I become miserable, and when I am taking it I feel MUCH better. It also took a couple of years to get to this dose. He was increasing my doses very slowly and I was getting pretty frustrated as it never seemed to do anything for me until we got to this current dose.

@@twitchster77 Fair enough that it works for you, but it is unusual.

@@briancorcoran9888 Check your levels at your next lab draw. Be sure you are taking your meds on an empty stomach. Before changing anything discuss this with your Endocrinologist or Internal medicine doctor. And yes you should go to a specialist in this area. A general practitioner is good but you need the best you can get. Go for it.

So on occasion, I will forget to take my medicine first thing and then when I remember I’ve had coffee and or oranges.should I just forget about it or take it, it’s very hard, waiting an hour after taking this medicine, lol I have my phone set at 6 AM to take the medicine

There is not an interaction between levothyroxine and alcohol.

Pharmacist Tips sweet

Yes 4 beers ain't nothing compared to my once in a while vodka and jack daniels binge 🥃 while on levothyroxine I'm on 75 mg

Start off like 🍾🎉😆😉😊💋by then end of the night I'm like😨😩😲😵 🤢

Nothing than your usual Interaction 😂

I couldn’t lose weight on it - I gained weight!

Hey I was on an overdose and my levels were troubled so I experienced anxiety,fast heart beat,Fear,feeling things are not real,detached from this world panic attacks at nights ,and many other bad mental symptoms and ofc my body was very weak.

@@Mitzihunt1313 what did you do about it?

@@maxtarasov5131 the effects go on their own after you fix your dosage when u go to the doctor, it took me 3months for em to disappear but with the help of sleeping pills and Some vitamins (anti anxiety meds) thats all It almost made me feel like I'm schizophrenic I was aware of it and scares at the same time at first when symptoms developed

@@Mitzihunt1313 i get arrythmia when i take 50mcg for an underactive i went doctors about it and they didn't do anything and just kept me on the same dose😒

@@maxtarasov5131 hey max they can't do anything about it because thats a symptom caused by Lyvo I had the same issue with my heartbeat, it was annoying but the shitty part is they can't do anything about it. Especially if you just recently started taking the pills

Yes. Omeprazole blocks the absorption of levothyroxine

@@margrettesarangaya8105 thank you for letting me know.

Absolutely not together

Also Vit D should be taken with the heaviest meal of the day, one containing fat or oil. Vit D3 with K2 is absorbed nest by the gut.

Yes - I gained weight while on this!

Please mind these are not weight loss pills. They are hormone alternatives. Don't meddle with hormones. Always consult your doctor.

Dosage is calculated based on lean body mass, so gaining or losing weight has no effect

@@dariobotkuljak9673 Merci beaucoup.

How did you lose so much weight?

@@CassandraRandria I stopped eating carbohydrates. No potatoes etc, rice etc. No sugar in my coffee and only ate two meals a day, as much as I wanted. It really works.

@@CassandraRandria is Rc

I’m not sure. Though I had a blood test from a ashwaganda mix and ALL it did was lower my already low SHBG. Didn’t raise testosterone or do anything good at all

I also had RAI in 2012. So for 12 years, I've suffered with so many life changing symptoms, I have been to doctor after doctor to try to find out what was happening to me. My new integrated gp recognized that my Free T3 was low and TSH was high yet still in range. She tried me on T3 replacement but I couldn't bear the side effects so I've gone from 25 to 50 Levo (on my own). I wish I had known this is all from the RAI which took me from hyper to hypo. It's so helpful to read others' experiences. I learn a lot.

Back when I took levothyroxine I always took it right after breakfast. It doesn't have to be taken on an empty stomach. The dosage can be determined either way.

ni

Look into Dr Peatfield and NDT, Armour or other natural dessicated thyroid supplements.

@@sansiveria578 thank you

I just started and it makes me feel really lethargic

@@JBguitar-cj8pc Sorry to hear

I feel so fatigued on this meds

Agreed.

Read Medical Medium Thyroid Healing book by Anthony William

@@marius.c13 Thank you. Ill do that.

@@Mn-hk4eb it took me 10 years of suffering to come to the realization that this drug does absolutely NOTHING for Hashimoto's, you must seek alternative health care like a functional medicine Dr.... Levothyroxine will just keep you sick and nothing for the root cause... Hashimoto's begins in the gut!

You can buy Claussen pickles and drink the pickle juice. Do not buy the bengals that are in the aisles they have to be the ones in the refrigerator sectin the refrigerative section by the deli meet. It has to be never treated

Sorry never heated

So my relative has been taking thyroid medication for a couple of days and now he is having chest pain and weak muscles. I told him to talk to his cardiologist & thyroid doctor before taking another thyroid medication. Sometimes taking too much medications can ruin the kidney & other organs & may cause side effects. Though, you really have to talk with your doctor if you feel you are having side effects. Monitor your BP as well regularly at least 3 times a day. Take naps as well. Take care.

@@ruolov1 I am also having extreme muscle weakness and I don’t know if it’s because I’m on too high of a dose or too low?

Yes death

Maybe try Armour Thyroid

Are you still alive? What caused this?

Yes it’s your decision

Umm yes 👍 the point is to make you feel better not her pockets perhaps

Synthroid is the brand name levothyroxine.

.mmmmm not but anyone can have different symptoms

You take synthroid?

@@lilPerc30 yes I’ve been taking Levothyroxine everyday

@@maria-bf Do you feel normal on it or have side effects?

@@lilPerc30 no i haven’t noticed anything unusual, just my comment above but everyone has different reactions

Same i hv prb

Mine was 6 in april and now its 10,8…. my thyroid is giving me panick attacks and its so scary

@@megijamika Panic attacks can be treated with vitamin B1. I would get some blood tests to see if you may need vitamin D also.

@@NOT-WOKE-007 I am drinking vitamin D everyday, had tests done and everything is okay except for the fact I have hypothyroidism and little bit of iron deficiency but it's hospital fault, because I was in hospital for a week and they took so much blood, no wonder i had trouble with health after coming out of hospital. I will check if I can buy vitamin B, I would eat foods that has it, but i have many allergies so the food options are very small and limited. I'm hoping that yoga will help me heal. Got prescribed levothyroxine and it's terrible. Took the meds only one time and I already know they won't work, because I felt so extremely sick 5 mins after taking the meds. Couldn't fall asleep or do anything because i had terrible belly ache and my heart felt as if it was about to stop.

I also have half my thyroid removed and I am on 50 mcg daily

I have itchy knees lol

Google what supplements to take for itchy feet

Same here

I believe it! This medication made me almost die

@Viola Pietrasik no I'm cured now thankfully, that happened in 2019 . I had thyroid issue since 2016 .do a check up to see if your levels are compatible with the dose you're taking,I've also suffered from anxiety because of it but it was normal and it comes and goes but if you started waking up in a panic attack at night suffering from severe insomnia,panic FEAR and weird feeling of self being check ur levels if they were compatible then dont worry it will go away within weeks or months . If ur levels were not compatible with the dose your doc is gonna change ur dose then u will get back to normal later on after weeks / months . Because if you didnt do so,its gonna get worst like mine did it almost felt like I'm schizophrenic, I couldnt sleep alone I was 25 and slept with my mom for weeks when I think of it idk what was wrong with me .

@Viola Pietrasik your welcome I like to share my experience and to help some understand somethings that I've been through ♤wait did you had to do operation on your thyroid or not? I didnt need an operation to remove anything I just needed to take medications because my I had an hyperthyroidism ,if this is your case no operation then it's not really needed to take meds for the rest of your life because I started from Dose 100g levothyroxine and I used to have TSH T3 T4 check ups each 3 months so that the doc can lower my dose if things were getting better,it takes years for your thyroid to be cured but its not permanent,yet I dont know about those who needs an operation if they need to take the meds for the rest of their lives . Yes I meant T3 T4 these ones they trigger anxiety and a lot of mental symptoms as well as physical symptoms as irritability in the stomach (anxiety,butterflies of worries) and yes a Blood test . When I did mine which was TSH and T3 T4 my TSH was okay I mean it was higher as it is or idk but my T3 T4 were Bad my dose was too much for T3 T4 that's what caused me to get sick .i was on 75ug and then he reduced my dose to 25 only . You can ask me somthing if you didnt understand sorry my english seems to be bad when it comes to explaining

@Viola Pietrasik the lower the better^^. well thankfully no operations needed! Yes it decreases and increases I too had a low dose once then i thought it was getting better,and it wasnt i had to come back from point zero which is 100 dose. Its gonna take some years for you to get it back to normal,its usually 1 to 2 -3 years it depends on a person but its not permanent. Oh yeah the palpation and shaking,my fingers were very shakey too all those years. So anxiety really is gonna become part of you until you finally heal it sucks . When I was on that over dose I had to take sleeping pills . But your case looks normal because you're not overdosed or something .so anxiety and all of the symptoms u mentioned are pretty normal and caused by the medicine it sucks . Also just a note, make sure to reduce salt and start drinking water bottle than the tap water. Water plays an important role to your thyroid ,doctors usually never say this .but I realized that i got my thyroid issue since i moved to a different city and drank from its tap water i also googled it and turns out that water plays a big role so the last year before I get healed I switched to bottle water and I dont drink not even a drop from the tap water in that city,and months later my levels got better and they got fixed . All those years I haven't thought about it.so I believe that I cured myself way too quickly by following that tip.

Hi Nina. I felt a bit relieved while reading your comment, because I thought I was going insane. I was drinking 50 mcg and after 3 weeks started feeling weird heart palpitations followed by anxiety, irritation and worse of them all harm OCD thoughts. Just like you said I felt and still feel a bit like I am getting schizophrenia. It feels scary AF, glad I lowered dosage and did not listen to my endocrinologist, that claimed this symptoms are normal 🙄🙄🙄

@@professorcecil damn don't worry you're going to be fine . These symptoms are not okay, they do not only play with your physical health but also mental one which is worst as you said it feels like schizophrenia which i believe it is,it's so bad i was scared that im going insane i felt relieved the day I found out I had to lower my dose . Your symptoms would gradually fade away thank God they're not permanent.

Really, i didnt know that.

No coffee for four hours after taking the med???

I usually only wait an hour 😭😭

@@ibpr4170 I must work a 12 hour shift. I need some coffee in the morning to wake up and get my day going. I only wait for an hour. Thyroid meds are water based. They usually digest within an hour. If taking other medications you should wait at least 1 hour after taking your thyroid med. They can interact with each other.

Arlene Bowers thank you!

I have same question

I take 112mg. Pretty close to yours.

My daughter is taking 150mg pr day ,two months before she was on 175 a day for three months and she lost her weight like magic. Now on 150 her weight loss has stoped no matter what ever she try.

@@zakiaali64 so why did the doctor bring her dose down?

@Lisa Marie No I have not lowered my dose. Actually went up to 150 now. Feel pretty good except those days when I stay up late or get up early.

@Lisa Marie I was tired. But every ones needs are different. My cancer wasn't caught early. So I am on higher dose. You are your own best advocate. If you feel something isn't right tell your doctor.

What was your TSH level ?

@@auromeetapattnayak7074 to be honest I actually don’t know. Is that a separate test? I will ask my doctor.

How is he now?

@@tia7765 sir she was discharged. And she was an utricaria patient three years back .she lost her weight . Sir does she have any complications in future .

U don t need meds you just need some antinflamatory things

If your ft4 is normal you just need some antimflamatory

tsh 2.6 and ft4 ft3 ok. only my antibodies were high. the endo gave me medications without i needed it. they suppressed my thyroid with a tsh 0.03. for months. unbelievable.

Me too.. And heart pain also😢

Your antibodies how high it is?

Investigate the keto diet.
