Synthroid: Feeling WORSE?

[ipad135]

I started taking Synthroid 25 mcg 5 days ago. My dry skin has greatly improved, my dry eyes disappeared, and my dry mouth is more subtle.

HOWEVER, I actually feel worse than before I started Synthroid! I am much more tired; a feel even spacier than I did before I started.

Is it normal to feel worse after starting Synthroid? If yes, when will I actually feel better!?!?!

I am thankful that some symptoms are going away, but I would rather feel better than have soft skin.

Thanks!

When symptoms change, or get worse, it's best to add to the old thread, then we have your history right there, so we don't have to keep asking for the same information, over and over, and you don't have to keep posting it over and over.

I'm pretty sure we addressed the "feeling worse" issue, in that it's not unusual for patients to report feeling worse, before they get better.

Hi, sorry to post this twice, I just started feeling worse today, and my old post didn't reflect that. I didn't mean to confuse anybody, I just wanted to know if, specifically, feeling worse, is normal. Sorry for the confusion!

you posted this same information a few hours ago and some of us, myself included, responded.  It would be much easier for all of us, if you not post the same thing so many times.  We will only continue to tell you the same things.
