I started taking thyodine with my levoxyl in the morning. I seem to feel a little better and lost 6 pounds. I ran out and haven't bought another bottle. Just wondering if the iodine was what really made the improvement. I am feeling tired again but have also been working a lot. Do you have cases that iodine was a benefit with hypothyroidism?

iodine may be a benefit -- if iodine deficiency was the cause of the hypothyroidism. More likely, the levothyroxine (active ingredient of Levoxyl) was why you began to feel better; not the iodine that is also in the levoxyl.
