"I lost over 60 lbs when WP Thyroid was working before the remanufactured product. My thyroid was like it used to be before my thyroid problems started. But then the labs lied. And changed the formula. And it is garbage. Don’t use WP Thyroid. It’s like my thyroid is worse now. I had to triple the dose and it still isn’t enough. Throw away your new WP. I would like to take legal action against the manufacturer. We have been lied to and now we have physical harm on top of it."

"I was taking the old batch of WP Thyroid, and it worked beautifully for years! Switched to the new batch, you know how they have since started reproducing it. Now, I'm having severe side effects from the new WP Thyroid: severe joint pain, stiffness, fogginess, dizziness, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, and night sweating. I tried contacting RLC and no response. I think they are not responding because they know there is a problem. There is definitely a change in the new formulation... and terrible side effects. BEWARE!!"

"This worked absolutely AMAZING until the supposed “shortage.” I was losing weight, my mood was good, skin clearing up, great energy levels, and then out of nowhere, the drug is gone. I called RLC Labs (when they were still responding to patients) and was assured they were on backorder and were working hard to fill the orders. When it started coming back on the market, I was thrilled, but after the first dose, I knew something was seriously wrong. This drug is a reformulation, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The best way to describe it is that I felt like I was being poisoned (not surprising given that the FDA took over RLC Labs and the manufacturing is occurring in China). It’s a real shame when money and profits come before patient care and people's lives. I will never use a product from RLC Labs again, and they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves (probably why you can’t speak with a representative when you try to call and question the company regarding the product.)"

"I was on the original WP Thyroid in 2014 and loved it! It was a life changer for me with energy, etc. I started on the “new” WP, and it landed me in the hospital. I’m STILL dealing with the effects. I had edema from head to toe and put on 12 pounds in one week. My gut microbiome was totally wiped out, and I literally stopped digesting food properly. That, along with severe bloating/fluid retention, made me look 9 months pregnant. I’m very healthy and normally thin. This drug has some really dangerous new components. Don’t use!!"

"I was on WP Thyroid last year (2018, from 2016 for about a year and a half) and had the best results ever. Then WP Thyroid was gone, and I went on to NP, which was horrible. Weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, swelling. So, the MD put me on Armour. Not bad; things improved and I leveled out, but the swelling remains (I've had it my entire life in my right lower leg only, and I mean only the WP relieved me of it! It was literally a godsend!). So, when I saw that WP was back in production, I hounded my doc to order it. I've been on it for 5 days, and it stinks. Foot swelling returned with a vengeance, irritability, constipation, headaches! I called the MD after reading reviews on here (which only confirmed what I knew) and said, put me back on the Armour. It seems the formula most definitely has changed for the worse! I was surprised my insurance covered it (it didn't last time!), now I'm imagining why... Don't waste your time with this garbage. It is terrible, in my case!"

"After 3 years on Synthroid (mostly bedridden), then 2 years on combination Thyroxine/Cytomel, which got me up out of bed and moving around. Then, finally, 2 months ago, after 5 years of suffering, I was switched to WP Thyroid (desiccated dried thyroid), and I have my life, my energy, my libido, my brain back, and any number of aches and pains throughout my body are gone. Why wasn't I offered this on day one?"

"WP Thyroid last year. Did okay. Just refilled, and what happened? I take it now, and within an hour I crash! Like taking a sleeping pill instead of NDT. So unhappy. Stopped for several days. Started again today. Forgot about the symptoms, then got slammed again, wondered, 'Why am I so tired!!??' Looked at the clock and realized I had restarted WP an hour before. Shame on RLC! The ratio of T3 to T4 was changed!"

"Transitioning from Synthroid. Been on WP Thyroid for 50 days with minimal side effects till the last 10 days. Now experiencing alarming thinning of hair, 80% of eyelashes and hair on arms are gone. Can’t connect with RLC Labs to ask questions."

"I've been hypothyroid for 20 years. I can't tell you if this thyroid medicine is bad or not the same. I had horrible reactions to Synthroid, Armor NT, and now WP. I chose WP 6 years ago, and man do I feel like a rockstar! Weight loss was easy, mood, fatigue, skin, and hair loss all gone! Yes, I'm in agreement with everyone here since the recall, not only WP-NT as well, weight gain, thyroid numbers T3-4 FT3 low, RT3 high. Now my iron is off the charts, and I don't use iron since the shortage and here and there getting some last year, I'm a mess. When I spoke to my pharmacist when it aka ran out, he said they are making the drugs in China, really? What pig glandular are they getting??? I swear my iron is elevated from these meds. I never had this issue. I'll be back to report my experience with the GMO-free, grass-fed cows' bovine from New Zealand. Well, it's my turn, bye-bye thyroid meds. And a HUGE thank you to you all and thank you Drugs.com."

"I was on WP before RLC went through their new lab. Started back on WP since reopening lab and, wow, this medication does not do a darn thing for me. Nada... all my symptoms have blown up. This is pathetic of this company. Why would they allow this to happen? What a disaster for sure. Going to try something, I'll be damned if RLC receives another dime from me."

"Tried compounded synthetic T4 and T3. (The synthetic drug minus all additives, dyes, etc.-prepared by a compounding pharmacy and the pure drug is put into a clear capsule.) Then tried Armour-much better. Lastly, tried WP Thyroid. This is a fantastic thing."
