Good luck with your surgery and hope you'll let us know how you do after it's over.
Hi Barb, thanks ! Hopefully, I'll be able to tolerate Synthroid. In a few day's, my thyroid will be gone. Good luck with new med, wishing you well :)
There are many on the forum who have used synthroid successfully. Cytomel, also. Some people need both.
I was on synthroid to begin with, but was later switched to generic levo because of the cost. I actually did better on the generic than I did on synthroid, but part of that was the doctor I had who kept reducing my meds trying to normalize TSH.
I was also on cytomel for a while, along the levo. I was later switched to generic T3 med, which I'm still on.
I'm currently on a relatively new T4 med called Tirosint, which is a gelcap and is virtually hypoallergenic, along with the generic T3. Have my ups and downs, but for the most part doing okay.
