How are you? It sounds like you may actually need a higher dose. How much are you currently taking?

It's been 7 months I'm taking levothyroxine 50 mg for hypothyroidism,and my last TSH was 5.3 which had tested before two months. My problem is,my menstrual cycle is totally absent,if I don't take medicine for this. My doctor says,it'll be regular if TSH level bocome more low. But I'm so desperate for having baby and without regular cycle, pregnancy isn't possible,as doctor says. Can you assure me that,if TSH level become low then everything will be normal and how long will it take to be normal??

Bottom line: does Urbanol effect your thyroid and can it cause weight gain ? I am really concerned as have no thyroid problems and am a light weight lady ## Hello, Ruth! How are you? No, it should not cause a problem with either. However, the U.S. FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been taking Urbanol for 2 weeks and feel like I am putting on weight as nothing else in my diet has changed. Has Urbanol been known to have the potential to make a person gain weight?

I've been having trouble starting on a low of synthroid to treat sub-clinical hypothyroidism (TSH ~3.5, no values for T4/T3) for fertility reasons. I'm 33, generally healthy, not overweight, exercise daily and eat a healthy diet. Admittedly, I have been under considerable stress for many years and need to keep working on stress management. First attempt: I initially started taking 25mcg. I've taken the medication first thing in the morning with a full glass of water, not eaten anything for 2 hours and not taken any vitamins/supplements at the same time. 2 days after starting this dose, I began to have a racing heart rate, felt panicky, was very flushed and emotionally labile (crying for no reason/fly off the handle, not my typical emotional state). These symptoms worsened fo...

I have been taking 75 mg levothyroxine for about 8 months i KNEW that my bloated stomach (basically look pregnant) and 2 stone weight gain was due to taking these pills i felt fine before i started them. I spoke to my doctor the other day explained to him that i cant cope with these side effects anymore and broke down in tears. I have suffered with depression since beating cancer 2 years ago and all this weight gain and tiredness is just killing me. He said as my levels are back up i can stop it for a week without danger. But ive decided to stop it forever after the hell ive been through with cancer treatment and stem cell transplant im not going to live in pain anymore life is too short. If i do start to get ill i will defo not be taking levo again!! I wll post back on here in a week o...

I am a 50 yr old woman. When i checked my thyroid in November 2015, i started Thyronom 75 daily; one in the early morning on an empty stomach (at that time my TSH level was 4.34). Now i checked again on 23/08/16, and my TSH level is 11.34. Doctor instructed Thaironom tablet 75 & 100 to be taken on alternative days. (i.e.one day 75, then next day 100). I just need to confirm why it is increasing? Please give me a reply. {edited for privacy}. ## It is normal for it to change, if you have a thyroid issue and the medication dosage will need to be adjusted accordingly, so you it is best to follow your doctor's instructions.

I hope someone can help! I am 53 years old and 5 feet tall and weigh 118 lbs. I never have had any symptoms . I went to my doctor 3 weeks ago and she tells me I have to go on medication for life! She did run blood work twice. I wish I knew my levels so could tell you but I don't. She started me on 50mcc a day of levothyroxin. The only symptom I am having right now is a little fuzzy memory. If I didn't have any symptoms do I really have to take meds for the rest of my life? I am a healthy eater and exercise on a regular basis and happy with my life. Can someone help. I don't take any meds besides supplements. ## Hi Becky, I’m not going to tell you to ignore your doctor’s advice, but I’m really glad my dad did when they told him he only had 6 months to live d...

Since the last few days my blood pressure has been 140/100. I am having thyroid problems also. I am taking amlopres 2.5 mg for my hypertension. Is it the right treatment option? I feel tired and have not been feeling well. For my thyroid i am taking thyroxine 100 mg.

Now I m 25 yrs married. My doctor asked me Don't get pregnant for 2-3 months.if in case if I get pregnant with 5.83 tsh vl it affect my baby? ## Not, according to NIH reports, it should not affect your baby, but it can make it harder for you to become pregnant. A thyroid disorder can cause you to be infertile. Did your doctor prescribe any medication to treat this condition?

Can the use of Tryptomer increase TSH thyroid levels? ## No, that is not a normal side effect of this medication, the NIH lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, anxiety, and weight changes. What reason has your doctor given for the elevation? You may just have a thyroid disorder.

My TSH was 5 and my doctor started me on Thyronorm 25mcg. It was later increased to 50mcg which I have been taking for almost 4 years. Is there any way to stop this medication or do I have to take it lifelong? And will the dose increase as the time passes? I am 26 years old and do regular exercise and try my best to eat healthy. Are there any side effects associated with the long term use of Thyronorm? I have started noticing weight gain. ## Generally, if you have a thyroid disorder, you will have to take the medication for the rest of your life, but the dosage will depend on your TSH levels, so it may vary in the future. The NIH lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss, mood swings, and weight changes.
