Find A hardtime adjusting to thyrax

for two years i was taking synthroid 150mcg i dont experience many worst side effect.but when synthroid was pulled out i changed to thyrax 150mcg, and thats the start of many worst symptoms or side effects i am experiencing.like my knee feels weak, experiencing tremor and involuntary muscles once in a while, sometimes im constipated and my vision seems foggy sometimes i see rainbow- like around the bulb.i dont know if this are just side effect or do i need to adjust my dosage.my endocrinologist said my maintenance is 150mcg and she said i just stick to 150mcg because i might have a high TSH if she will decrease my dose to 125 mcg.but the problem is i got lot of symptoms while taking thyrax 150mcg..  i'll appreciate if anyone can help me.tnx

Why did you have to stop taking synthroid?  

Your symptoms sound like you might be hypo; do you have current labs that you could post?  Along with the reference ranges, which vary from lab to lab, so must come from your own report.  

I do hope your doctor isn't dosing you, based on TSH, alone......... You need to also look at your Free T3 and Free T4 levels.  

It's possible that there's an issue with the fillers or binder in the thyrax that are causing absorption issues.
