Hi pat,

I don't have any personal experience with this medication, but I thought it would be helpful to post a list of possible side effects...

-weight loss
-tremor
-headache
-nausea
-vomiting
-diarrhea
-stomach cramps
-nervousness
-irritability
-insomnia
-excessive sweating
-increased appetite
-fever
-changes in menstrual cycle
-sensitivity to heat
-temporary hair loss, particularly in children during the first month of therapy

If you experience either of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:

-chest pain (angina)
-rapid or irregular heartbeat or pulse

There's also another thread on this site (linked below) regarding some personal user experiences with Levothyroxine and how they felt taking it:

I hope this helps!
