I've been noticing some symptoms like dizziness, muscle spasms, muscle weakness, blurred vision, body tremors, and temperature dysregulation after taking my levothyroxine at 3 am every morning. Have you ever experienced anything like this? Do you happen to know why these symptoms occur? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

First off I am sorry you are experiencing these problems.
I advice you to inform your Dr. immediately you are having tremors and muscle weakness they are considered less common side effects. With regards to double vision and dizziness they are considered rare side effects of this medication which your Dr. must also be informed of asap.
Hope you feel better soon, masso

I have been on Levothyroxine for over 30 years. While I have experienced some of these symptoms from other health issues I have not noticed any from taking this med.
I hope things start improving for your health.
