For Underactive Thyroid "NP caused my heart to race and anxiety to happen. Never in my life did I have anxiety, so that was a real surprise. Fatigue never went away. Now that it has been recalled, I don't know what Dr. will put me on."

For Hashimoto's disease "I was on levothyroxine for over 2 years and had constant palpitations, anxiety, and heat intolerance. Thyroid levels were WNL [within normal limits], saw a new endo who let me discontinue because my initial TSH was under 10. After 3 months of no meds, I had zero energy and all of my muscles and joints hurt. Started NP Thyroid, and I feel so much better, but I am gaining weight, about 6 lbs so far and don't seem to be plateauing."

For Underactive Thyroid "I started BHRT and Thyroid NP (60 mg) at the same time. Nine days after starting, had to call an ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack or stroking out... horrible chest pressure, uncontrollable shaking, heart palpitations, dizziness, pain shooting up into my neck and jaw, left arm numbness. I told my doc that I think I had a reaction to this medication, but she didn’t think it likely. She told me to reduce the dosage of this and then increase it every couple of weeks. Started back at 15 mg, then 30 mg, and now 45 mg. Have been feeling like rubbish... mood swings, irritability, fatigue, and more recently really bad anxiety. Thought it was my hormones trying to balance out. Was getting frustrated because I thought the BHRT was supposed to make me feel better, but I just felt like rubbish all the time. Now I realize it may have been this medication this whole time causing me problems!!! Going to stop taking it. Very healthy and athletic prior to taking this. Now I feel like a mess."
