For Underactive Thyroid "This drug is making me feel unwell with a lot of uncertainty. I have trouble breathing, hoarseness, tired aches in my legs and back, and difficulty swallowing, not to mention the effect it is having on my mental health. I consider myself a strong person mentally and physically. I have only been taking it for a month, as my pharmacist informed me I can no longer get the levothyroxine anymore, that I have been on for 16 years."
