Yes, each different dose is a different color, and sometimes people are allergic or sensitive to the dyes and other fillers in the tablet.
Was your dose recently raised? If you increase meds too quickly, you can get symptoms similar to the ones you've been having.
Do you take Synthroid or another brand or generic?

My husband dealt with hives from Levo. He just after a year of dealing with the hives coming & going just quit the medication all together.
I have been on Levothyroxine for a long time & did not have that issue. Some people just react to it.

How long have you been taking the pill? Did you start at 75 mcg, or did you start at a lower dose and work up to 75 mcg?
Many times doctors say labs are "normal" when the testing was inadequate or the reference ranges used were inappropriate. Did they test anything besides TSH?
