I have been having a severe adverse reaction to Levothyroxine with endless different symptoms depending on what brand I have been given. I am now unable to take more than 50 mg of Mercury Brand only. If I try to put it up to 75 mg I become very ill. After much research I have found information most from Thyroid UK about Natural Desicated Thyroid which is made from pig glands, Levothyroxine is synthetic. I have asked my GP to provide a Special Prescription for this, I am, however not holding out a lot of hope here that I am going to get it, despite Thyroid UK saying that GP's can prescribe it on Special Prescriptions. Has anyone managed to get their GP to prescribe it? Can they advise me on the best way to go about this? Also if I go ahead in desperation and buy it on a Private Presc...

I took 70mg two days in a row. five days later they sent my urine to a lab. will I be dirty? I have a hypothyroid but take synthriod ## I took nine one mg xanax on Friday and I have a urine test on Thursday. I read that it only takes 4 days to completely get out of your system due to its fast-acting and it's half life. Is this true? I'm really worried and I made a mistake so an answer from someone honest would really mean a lot. I had a moment of weakness and if I fail this I lose my family and my freedom. I know it was stupid but an answer from someone who knows would mean the world to me. Please help.

Hi, I am 24. We were planning to ttc soon so I went for a Pap smear & my doctor said to do blood test in which I was diagnosed with low thyroid & then I started to take levothyroxine! This is my second week on medication! The day before I first started to take levothyroxine I had spotting which should have turned into a period but as I started taking the medication the spotting was stopped & I didn't have my periods! My lmp was December 11th, I did not have a period since then! My doctor is saying I might have pcos too which is making my periods late! So I wanted to know when will I start getting my regular periods? Doctor told me to not get pregnant for at least 4 months so we've planned to start ttc-ing from June onwards! But still I don't have any sign of my p...

I've been on some kind of thyroid medicine for nearly ten years. Maybe two occassions where my prescription has had to be altered. They want me to come in every six months for a check up, which is one vile of blood and not even a 1/2 hour consultation. I can't afford to go that often and they just cut my refills until i set up an appointment. Is this legal or am i just going to javeto deal with this kind of thing for the restof my life. Why can't i set up an appointment when i feel the effects kicking in, i know this condition so well i can tell when things will start happening. Like the weight gain, fatigue, getting cold easy. ## Not "legal". File a complaint with your state's medical bureau. That said, have you told your Dr's office you can't afford to ...

I went to the doctor after he ran some blood work on me, he told me that my thyroid is sluggish and prescribed me 50mcg of levothyroxine. Does this mean that I have Hypothyroidism? My mother has it and she told me that I am at risk for having it as well.I have a lot of the symptoms and that was why I went to the doctor in the first place but he doesn't explain things at all and I have been looking for a new doctor but have had no luck. Please help! Thank you in advance. ## Yes, that would be hypothyroidism, or on the verge of developing it. But it never hurts to double check by asking your doctor to be specific, or consulting another for a second opinion.

I ordered thyroid medication through this company and had my thyroid level checked after two weeks of this brand and my level was worse than before I was on any medication at all. I think this is an expensive sugar pill. ## Did you continue the thyroid medication and is it working?

Hi there I suffer from hyperthyroidism at the moment been without medication for a while. Half my thyroid were removed together with a abnormal nodule. What dosage of Eltroxin should I use now? I feel tired all the time, it is all in my eyes like I haven't slept for days......

Can i take percacet and synthroud at same time? ## Hello, Judu! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, so it should be fine, as long as they have both been prescribed for you. The FDA classifies Percocet as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Synthroid may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, weight changes and hair loss. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi! So I changed location and in the process of lookin for a new doc I ran out of my Levo. I take 50mcg a day. My appointment is not until a week from now. So I will be with no medicine for a week but I am so worried because they say to never discontinue it. When I was put in it, my thyroid level was on the low end of the normal range. I don't think is my thyroid that creates the issue but a 3-4mm pituitary tumor which was found nearly 4 years ago after the birth of my son. However, I've not had any issues or symptoms taking Levo. It has worked just fine. Now I'm am worried reading about all that can happen when you are off it! Can you please helping me with more info and options what to do! ## Hello, Tillie! How are you? Have you gotten back on our medication, yet? Being of...

I started taking this drug about 8 weeks ago. After 6 weeks my blood was checked and levels were still high so doc increase doseage to 50 mcg's a day. This drug does effect my period. My period used to last 5 days, but since I started taking this drug, my period only last 2-3 days, plus it bleeding less. I'm really worry about it. Is this drug mess up my body? ## Have you consulted your doctor? It is possible that your period was actually running a little longer and heavier than it should, due to your thyroid issue and that the medication is now helping with it, however, only your doctor can really help you discover if that is the case. ## What levels were too high? If your doc increased your dose I suspect it was just one level, TSH. Get a copy of your results so that you know ...
