My levothyroxine side effects
I have been on my Levothyroxine for 3 weeks.
The first week, I felt a bit crazy, jittery when I tried to lay down to sleep and so on.
Now I am very tired, I wasn't even tired before I knew I had a thyroid issue and was put on the stuff. I just don't understand why I feel worse taking something rather than feel better than what I thought of as I was feeling just fine before.
And I have a strange lingering after taste in my mouth all day?

Hello everyone!
This is my first post. I saw a post that made me feel that some might not understand a couple of things. So, in my own (possibly unorthodox way) I will try to explain. Please understand that by having hypothyroidism & fibromyalgia they are two completely different medical issues even though they have some of the same symptoms. I say this because I have them both. They were diagnosed many years apart. Unfortunately I am being treated by a VA doctor that refuses to listen to me most of the time. I am considering talking to the VA about changing doctors. I'm having trouble taking Levothyroxine. I get over heated just sitting in my apartment in my panties. I have also had chest pain, as well as what's called chest wall pain, palpitations, shortness of breath & my anxiety is worse when I take it. It's odd though that the posts I've read no one has said anything about sensitivity to heat. I know the heat is difficult on everyone this year but other people around me don't seem to have my problem & my idiot VA doctor is not helping me. I stopped the Levothyroxine & the heat isn't bothering me like it was. I'm just hot outside like everyone else. It has to have been the problem. I'm going to ask the VA doctor to refer me to an endocrinologist. I know he's going to give me a song & dance about it but he's not his body, it's mine. Contrary to what he thinks I know my body best.
