For Underactive Thyroid "I have been taking Levoxyl for 3 months, and my blood tests have gone down from 110 to 65. It's still not normal, still underactive thyroid. Half my hair has fallen out in the 3-month period. My stomach hurts, and the doctor said no Pepcid or antacids for 4 hours after taking the medication. My joints and muscles hurt all of the time, and I have insomnia. I think I may be adapting to the meds, as I no longer have to spend half the day in the bathroom. Diarrhea has lessened, but stomach cramps persist. I was just told I need to increase the Levoxyl to 0.75 mg. I'm terrified I may end up bald with an ulcer."

"I have had a complete thyroidectomy after being diagnosed with cancer. Although Levoxyl has fewer side effects than some others, my major complaints are insomnia, fatigue, and hair loss."
