My levothyroxine side effects

[AppleJacs]

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?

Please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  Also, have you been tested for Vitamin D, B12, ferritin, and a full iron test panel?  If so, please post those results and ranges as well.

For info, I have read that a significant portion of the population is deficient in magnesium.  I have also read that low magnesium is a major cause of migraines, and that taking magnesium was effective in relieving migraines.  Should be worth a try.   If you decide to do so, there are several types that are recommended.  These include magnesium citrate and  magnesium glycinate.  There are also others that are recommended, but don't bother with magnesium oxide types.  I take 400 mg of the magnesium glycinate.

Please post your thyroid related lab test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report so that members can better assess the adequacy of your testing and treatment.   If you look at this list of typical hypothyroid symptoms, do you have others as well?

I am late to this conversation, but I was wondering if you could describe when you are dizzy?  I experience dizzy as a visual, like you are sitting in the back seat of a car and it is on a bumpy road.  My labs are all normal, I am gluten free but feel like ice is running through my veins.  My endocrinologist said she would change my med to Armor.

Got my labs back & my levels for all 3 are within normal levels. So all is well for now. I never got the energy boost I hoped for. It maybe because I'm in so much pain because of cervical bone spurs. I'm getting an MRI 12/4. I had a standard x-ray last Thursday & it was not good. I tried to tell my doctor but he wouldn't listen. Now the egg is on his face & running down. That's ok because I won't have him much longer. I've requested a new doctor. It's only a matter of time. Maybe the new one will actually listen to me since he handles most of the female patients. He's not a GYN just a primary care doc.

he sounds like he may need an increase.
