Hello there,
I am a 34 year old female who has had hypothyroid since the first of my first son in 2004. Since that diagnosis in October of 04, i have been on levothyroxine..the generic brand. My condition has been fine since finding the right level of medication....that is until i moved Doctors. My new doctor over this past summer thought i should go on the actual synthroid....he said it was better to be on that. Well, since then, i've quickly gained about 10 lbs, have severe headaches, am extremely tired again ALL day long, am often very hot/sweaty and just no energy for my sons, who require a lot of energy!
I am hoping to go back to visit my endocrin. this week...but can you offer me any advice in the meantime? I want to go back on the levothyroxine b/c i was totally fine on that. What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance.
Laurie
