User Reviews for Levothyroxine

Synthroid (levothyroxine): 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. Its no quick fix but its a lot better than taking drugs. My wife is going off a lot of drugs and feels a lot better.

Levoxyl (levothyroxine): Since startingon Levoxyl, I have gained at least 25 - 30 more pounds. I still feel tired.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I've been on Synthroid for two years now and have found that once you are on the right dosage it's brilliant. Just be patient at the beginning.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): 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.

Levoxyl (levothyroxine): take this medicine early in the morning same time everyday and youll feel much better

Levoxyl (levothyroxine): I feel worlds different - I don't need caffeine to get through the day, and low blood sugar doesn't bother me any more. Yes, I'm even losing some fat, but I think that's because I can go longer between meals and it takes less food to feel full. The only odd thing is that my lips are unusually dry.

levothyroxine: FOLLOWUP-6/09 Thyroid numbers are holding within accepted levels. I've missed a day on occasion and I can tell when I do, as I become more easily fatigued. But other than the 8-10 pounds I can't shed I'd say this medication is a success. I am a 45 year old athletic male professional. I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid about 1.5 years ago. 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.

levothyroxine: I have been taking a generic levothyroxine for about one month. Prior to starting on the drug, I had multiple symptoms of an underactive thyroid that I never connected until my doctor did a routine screening based upon family history. 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.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I have taken Synthroid for 23 years. The first 3 years I did okay on it but over the past 20 I started to feel losey. I'm tired all the time and very irritable. I've taken from .050 MG to .125. I still feel bad. It's been adjust at least 30 to 35 times through the course of 23 years. I feel totally helpless and hopeless. My doctor will not change my thyroid medication.

levothyroxine: i have been taking levothyroxine for 3 years i have had no side effects weight gain has stopped and im not tired at all

levothyroxine: Before I started the medication, I had severe hair loss and fragile nails. I was tired and had no energy. A couple of weeks after taking the medicines, I started feeling energized, started to grow hair again, and my nails started to grow and became very strong. I love the medication. I am a 54 year old woman and have had menopause for 2 years.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): No side effects, just makes me feel better once at the right dose.

Levothroid (levothyroxine): My doctor has increased the dose several times but I still do not feel that it has made me feel totally better.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I was born without a thyroid and I've been taking Synthroid every night. I'm only 13. I have to tell you this is the best thing ever. If I didn't have this medication I would be barely alive. I wouldn't be this tall either (5'7). This medicine is my life-line.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I've been taking Synthroid for a few years and has really helped. My dose has gone up several times. I can really tell a change in how I feel now, then before I was taking it. Tried the generic and it actually made me feel worse so I am taking the name brand only.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I was at Phase 3 of hypothyroidism and 150mg a day has halted all side effects of the disease eg., loss of hair, nails thinning, lethargy, etc.

Levoxyl (levothyroxine): I'm glad I used this medicine. My body was dead before I changed doctors to find the problem. I used every vitamin to help me..mostly Vitamin B and also energy drinks. My new doctor found the problem and prescribed this medicine and now I feel like a new person. I haven't noticed any side effects yet.

levothyroxine: I've been taking levothyroxine for about 30 days now and feel less lethargic and cranky. However, the pill causes my stomach to produce lots of acid in the morning, which makes waiting to eat breakfast an issue. I have always had an iron stomach that can handle anything without getting upset, including medication when empty, so I'm not excited about this new problem. I have also noticed that my energy level sometimes fluxuates significantly a couple times a day. Improvments still needed.

levothyroxine: Been taking levothyroxine for 11 days since diagnosed with hypothyroidism (T4 levels of 3 and TSH over greater than 100). What a difference it's made? Feel much better in myself, thyroid still enlarged (doctor didn't want to flood my system with too much thyroxine after such low readings but may increase after bloods are taken in 4 weeks) but it is getting smaller. Eyesight much improved, leg pain gone, mood better and generally feel much improved. Feel a lot more like my old self. Can't wait for the drugs to really kick in. Marvellous.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I've been on Synthroid (Levothyroxine) for about a year and a half now. They've changed my dose 4 times so far and I'm currently at 100 mcg. Once they keep me on a dose for a bit, I feel okay, but with every change I have a few annoying side effects. I can say that if you take it every day like you're supposed to, it will work eventually. You have to be patient, it won't make you feel great right away. It took me about 3 months. But it helped with my lethargy, weight and even depression. It's pretty good if you take as prescribed. If you stop taking it suddenly, the effects of hypothyroidism come back pretty quickly and severely so I recommend taking it as your doctor states.

levothyroxine: I was just diagnosed with an under-active thyroid last week. I thought I was just so tired all the time because I was getting older and had gained some weight. Within a few days of taking the medicines I felt like my old self. I felt like I was 21 again. I had more energy than I'd had in years and was in a good mood [who know?!]. I never attributed any of my problems to a medical condition, but if this keeps me feeling the way I am now, I couldn't be more grateful.

Levoxyl (levothyroxine): I have taken this drug for perhaps 8 years now, with no side effects. I've heard that it's best to take it at night, perhaps because the body does its restorative work then. My blood levels have remained consistent since starting Levoxyl, so my doctor is pleased.

levothyroxine: I'm 19 years old, and I was diagnosed a few months ago. The only symptoms I had prior were constant fatigue. So luckily we discovered it early on in life. As soon as I started taking Levothyroxine, I was no longer fatigued, and I finally felt normal. 6 weeks after I started, my thyroid hormone levels were back to where they should be. Absolutely no side effects. This seems to be a very safe drug.

Levoxyl (levothyroxine): Well I've been taking it for about 14 years now and I've never experienced much of any side effects. I do have light emotional mood swings from time to time, but since im just 18 I believe they are the normal teenage-kind. I don't mind it.

Synthroid (levothyroxine): I've being taking Synthroid for 3 years now. It was hard to reach the right dosage since I used to take Puran T4 (NOT marketed in the USA) 75 mg and had to adjust the Synthroid to 100mg instead. I've being feeling great since!
