Thyroxine Side Effect

I take 100mg throxine one day then 150mg the next. I have had terrible headaches for the past 3 months. I wake up with headaches everyday. sometimes finding it hard to even lift my head up. They can last for hours.Is this a common side effect? ## Yes, headaches can be a normal side effect of this medication and they may be aggravated by your daily dosage adjustments. Have you talked to your doctor about them? You may need further dosage adjustments, or to try something to treat or prevent the headaches. There is also a chance that they may be unrelated to the medication, but only your doctor can help you find out for sure.

Drug Index

Dextrothyroxine (trade name Choloxin) is a dextrorotary isomer of thyroxine.[1] It saw research as a cholesterol-lowering drug[2] but was pulled due to cardiac side-effects. It increases hepatic lipase which in turn improves utilization of triglycerides and decreases levels of lipoprotein(a) in serum.[3] See also Levothyroxine References .mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%;margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}.mw-parser-output ....

I am taking thyronorm 75mcg for the past 3 months. We are planning for a baby. Will this affect my pregnancy? ## Actually, it should help you. You'd have way more of a problem trying to conceive, if your Thyroid were left to continue being out of control, with its hormones, since they can affect the entire body. Just make sure that your doctor knows you are trying to conceive and let them know if you do become pregnant, that way they can monitor your condition and your medication dosage. Thyronorm contains the active ingredient Thyroxine. Common side effects that you may experience can include: nausea, drowsiness, weight gain and hair loss.

However, your body can react differently to differenct medications, so while on one medication you may not experience a lot of side effects, but a switch to a new drug, even in the same class, might result in more severe side effects.

Thyroxine gives me debilitating headaches. Armour Thyroid seems to do nothing. Tyrosine and iodine also give me headaches and make me perspire and feel weak. Anyone got any advice? I suffer from hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia ## Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone used to treat people whose thyroids are underactive. That said, headaches can be a common side effect, though they normally taper off as your body adjusts to the medication. Did yours continue past a month or so? Have you tried talking to your doctor to see if there is a solution, perhaps something you can use for the headaches or to prevent them? ## I have had migraines with Levothyroxine so came off tablets but went on the liquid Iml syringe at a time and increase every three days; this seems to be working.

I was in the hospital on an unrelated matter. After reviewing my blood work, the attending physician told me to stop taking l-thyroxine.

I have been taking Euthyrox, which is Levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic L-Thyroxine (T4), to treat my hypothyroid. Then I read about Thyroxine, which, according to one source, contains both triiodothyronine (T3 and T4), and the effects are not the same as taking T4 alone. But else where on the internet, L-Thyroxine is regarded as the same as Thyroxine, except that the former is more potent than the latter. Is that all the difference between the two?
