Synthroid (levothyroxine) for Underactive Thyroid: If you boil up balsom tea every day for one month you will cut your colestral and your thyroid down to where you dont have to take drugs.

Synthroid (levothyroxine) for Underactive Thyroid: I have been taking Synthroid for about eight years now. I have tried the generic Levoxothyrine and it makes shaky all over even at the same dosage. My history has been going from hyperthyroid, caused by thyroiditis, to hypothyroid afterwards. I take my dose religiously every morning 1 hour before breakfast. Even in light of this I seem to have great fluctuations in my levels. I assume this is more a physiological problem than that of the medication. When we get it leveled out, I feel well.

I tried self treatment (eliminating food that remove iodine from the body, etc). I also took iodine supplements. No effect. After 30 days on levothyroxine I felt much better. More energy, mental clarity and positive attitude. I have now been on the medication for 9 months and have only experienced one negative side effect. I have gained approximately 8 lbs. I will follow up after my April checkup.

My symptoms included extreme sensitivity to cold, blurry/burning eyes and even an incident of double-vision, inability to concentrate, lethargy, fatigue, lack of motivation, depression - the list goes on and on. Within TWO DAYS of starting this drug, I felt much better and my symptoms were much improved or gone all together. I have not had any side effects so far as I can tell, and I will have my blood checked in a couple of weeks to see if an adjustment in dosage is needed. This drug has changed my life.

levothyroxine for Underactive Thyroid: I've been taking levothyroxine for about 30 days now and feel less lethargic and cranky.

I have also noticed that my energy level sometimes fluxuates significantly a couple times a day. Improvments still needed.
