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."

For Underactive Thyroid "So far, no obvious side effects. However, I am on other medications so I don't know quite how much interaction there is between the different meds."
