For Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal "I do love the internet for this type of communication. Wal-Mart switched me back in late November 21 to Euthyrox. By late December, I thought I was going to need my prostate removed. Body aches, joint aches, fatigue, and brain fog to boot. Do not let it happen to you. Back on levothyroxine, and after 2 days, everything improved."

For Underactive Thyroid "Please do not take this medication. My pharmacy switched me from Levothyroxine to Euthyrox, and since then I've been having anxiety, fatigue, loose bowels, extreme sweating, muscle aches, and pains. Called the pharmacy today, had them switch me back to Levothyroxine. Hopefully, this will help."

For Hashimoto's disease "Two years ago, my pharmacy switched over to this and told me it was Levothyroxine, just under a different brand name. Me or my doctor did not put the two together. I gained 30 lbs, and I now have chronic fatigue and pain, slow heart rate. I stopped running because the fatigue was so horrible I could barely function going to work on a daily basis. My quality of life was failing, and I felt like no one was listening to me. When I switched pharmacies, I was getting Levothyroxine again, and in two weeks, I noticed more energy. By week three, I was running again and actually able to clean my house, run three miles, and make dinner and have guests over, all in the same day! This drug was ruining my life. I can't get back the last two years, but this drug needs to be removed from the market. The sad part, my TSH was normal, so my complaints were ignored."

For Underactive Thyroid "Awful. Walmart switched me to this from my normal levothyroxine. I have felt horrible for the last 2 weeks. Extreme fatigue, achy joints, anxiety, etc. I realized this is the only thing that has changed, so I called them to refill my normal levo. Beyond frustrated that they switched me. Hopefully, I start feeling better soon. I'm not sure how they can even do this."

For Underactive Thyroid "I was prescribed Euthyrox and had taken it for 3 months. Unfortunately, my pharmacy did not have it in stock and gave me Levothyrox instead. After several days, I started having a menstrual cycle, which wouldn't be a huge issue, however, I've been through menopause and haven't had a cycle in 13 years. I was also experiencing severe pain in both my hips and my neck, and severe fatigue. I contacted my doctor and pharmacist and am happy to report I'm back on the Euthyrox, and I'm feeling much better."

For Hashimoto's disease "I had it after taking generic levothyroxine from Walmart. This time I got the Euthyrox, and I have been experiencing brain fog, extreme pain in my feet since morning, and fatigue."
