Help!!
I have been taking synthroid ( generic and brand) for over ten years. All of a sudden I have itching all over my body about 5 hours after taking it. I know it is related to the synthroid because if I skip a day or two I don't itch. My doctor and my allergist don't think it's the synthroid. Don't know what to do. I know I have to take it for life. I wasn't offered any alternatives except for taking 50 mug tabs because they don't have the dye. Still itches with that also. Feel like I'm at a dead end.
I agree with Barb, you should switch medicine to different brand and then see if you are still itching.

It's possible that you are having a reaction to the fillers. Ask your doctor if you can switch to Tirosint, which is a gel cap; better absorbed and hypoallergenic because it has no fillers.
It's worth a try, though some people find that they have to lower their dosage of Tirosint because of the better absorption.
