That is myth - do believe that taking thyroid meds will be your souce of weight loss. It rarely happens.

You need to increase your thyroid levels  to optimal preformance. You body must accept the change and heal. You must follow and eliminate many sources of processed foods and get a healthy balance of foods and life long diets to help get your thyroid meds to work to get the healing started to eventually lose some MILD weight.

See? its a whole cycle and that pill isn't the ticket to weight loss by no means.

I just started taking thyroxine about a week ago and haven't really felt any differently.  I keep hearing all of these dramatic weight loss stories, though; have any of you experienced this?  If so, how long did it take to start losing?

I also felt ill after taking my thyroid medication, I was feeling rather desperate and was relieved after coming across this site. The information I got on here helped me lot.
I now take my medication when my husband gets up for work at 3am, by the time I get up at 5.30am my energy levels are much better, I no longer feel sick or have the fuzzy feeling we all seem to experiance.
At the weekends I set my alarm for 5.30AM, I take my tablets then cuddle down and go back to sleep for a bit. By doing it this way I can get up and have coffee, brekkie and take my vitamins without any problems. Thanks to all of you for the advice you have put on here I
would have been lost without it, I didn't get any of this information from my consultant.

If you have only been on meds five days its not time to notice any difference really, you need to give it at least eight weeks to get the full benefit of the meds..
