"I have been on Levothyroxine a long time. Have heat intolerance, lightheadedness, get very weak, feel like a zombie, nauseous, headachy, insomnia, and gained 60 pounds. Doctor won't let me try something else. Time for a new doctor."

"I have only 3 days in this medicine since I have the short thyroid, it does not produce enough. I must say that before being on this medicine, I had never felt any discomfort, but once on this at a high dose of 112 mcg, on the second day, I had palpitations and shortness of breath. I had to go to an emergency room. Then the nervousness began: anxiety. I lowered the dose to 50 mcg and began to feel, on the third day of using it at 50 mcg, I have sunstroke inside me, something hot, muscle aches, headaches, chills at night, sweat on the hands and legs. It's the worst feeling I've had. I went to the emergency room, and they just told me that this medication can give these side effects until the hormone is regulated, and then everything goes back to normal - until then, I can feel this. I told him to switch to the Zytroid brand and use 25 mcg to see if the situation improves."
