Levothyroxine And Dizziness (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I've been taking Levothyroxine 25mg for almost four months, first three months was fine, now seem to be having dizzy spells alot. (every day) also feeling bloated. Has anyone experienced this after 3 months of taking them? Another thing a couple of months ago my period was 13 days late!! its always been irregular but not normally that late. We are trying for a baby so i'm wondering if it could be pregnancy symtoms also.

RE: dizziness. Do you have a recliner or a lift chair? I find if I seep in my recliner, I don't have a problem with dizziness. that seems to ocurr, when getting up from a rest on the couch.

I agree. There's something about Levothyroxine that makes me dizzy, too. I've had my labs balanced including iron, B12 (important for Levo to convert to T3) and still I experience this dizziness. At one time I was put on Cortef along w/Levo and dizziness went away completely. I was so thrilled. Then years later, the dizziness hit me again. We tried upping and lowering Cortef. My labs were showing high ACTH and Cortisol so I had to come off it completely and now I've been dealing with dizziness and fatigue for years again. I can't stand living like this. I feel this medication has taken my life from me. I can't enjoy anything. It feels like big pharma is playing a bad joke on me (and others by the looks of this discussion.) Doctor's don't help. Endos seem to be the worst. I've tried adding a little T3 Cytomel, and it helps, but I still deal w/the relentless daily dizziness. Cytomel clears my mind for a short time, but I can't take much. I know some people take all Cytomel and no Levo, but I can't. The Cytomel is just too strong. I have tried the NDT Natural called Naturethroid, and it made me feel so dizzy, too. I hate this. I truly don't want to live like this. I'm so miserable. I have to lay down most of the day. Do things, lay down, cook, lay down. I hate this life. It's no way to live.
