Try and get off this toxic crap (Levo T4). Get on Armour Thyroid instead. Ask your doc first. If s/he says NO, get another doc and keep going until you find one who will follow you on Armour. Believe me, eventually you will need this advice. Levo mono therapy nearly killed me and my doc still said I was hyperthyroid when I was hypothyroid. It is their slavish conformation to the guidelines of the ATA whose research was done when the drugs used to work. They don't now. Oh, and btw, you can buy Armour off the internet, just start very low, 1/4 grain and increase slowly until you feel normal.
