Still have symptoms, but taking Synthroid
Hi, I take .50 mcg of Synthroid, but still feel tired, crazy thoughts, not hungry too much, moody, rage, very bad emotional periods, and much more. Do you think this means I need an increase in Synthroid?
What is happening to me? Please help!!

I am taking Levothyroxine by Sandoz, before I was taking Synthroid which is the brand. I feel awful after taking three pills of 100mcgs of the Levothyroxine. I am confused and sweating and fatigued. I have put in a call to my physician just now.
This is awful, my neck looks large too.
I hope I can get this straightened out.
This forum is good for support Thanks!!

You have to take into consideration that your TSH was/is 10 and it takes time for the new meds to work and heal thereafter, which might take some time.
Levothyroxine therapy is usually well-tolerated. If side effects occur symptoms are often due to toxic levels of thyroid hormone and the symptoms are those of hyperthyroidism. Symptoms may include all or some of the following: chest pain, increased heart rate or pulse rate, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, nervousness, headache, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, or fever. Women may experience irregular menstrual cycles.
Levothyroxine is the generic name for the brand names of Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, Unithroid. They are the same just the name is different i.e. levothyroxine. Generic names cost less with brand names costing more.
"Conclusions.-The 4 generic and brand-name levothyroxine preparations studied are different but are bioequivalent by current Food and Drug Administration criteria and are interchangeable in the majority of patients receiving thyroxine replacement therapy........"

Synthroid Tablets Ingredients are: Acacia, confectioner's sugar (contains cornstarch), lactose, magnesium stearate, povidone, and talc. And color additives by tablet strength.
If you felt better on Synthroid maybe it was the sugar boots ;)

If you haven't had your thyroid levels checked after the three month of starting Synthriod, you need to do so.
Chest pounding and sweats might suggest that you are over medicated therefore need a dose adjustment.
By all means, call your doctor, especially if you don't feel right.
Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

I have been having anxiety and yesterday started with a little panic feelings. This has been going on for over 2 weeks now. I am going to the endo tomorrow for him to feel my neck. My tsh was 2 weeks ago 5.6 up from 3.5 which was down from 6.7. He said my t4 is high but he won't admit the symptoms are from thyroid. My psychiatrist says they are. I am working on knowing that I have good doctors and they will get me there with the direction of the Lord. My thoughts are not good at times with fear of the feeling and future and what is going on etc etc. Is this normal for where I am. I am having to take almost every day .5 mg of loprazam. I don't take it until I feel I have to. What do you think. I don't know if I want he to increase the levo or not as I don't tolerate it too well but what else can I do to get feeling better and find the level that I feel best on. He will alternate the 37.5 one day and 50 next. I don't know where mytsh is now as it has been two weeks and I am having more severe symptoms. I am handling them with breathing excerises and then the lorazapam. I went to church today and left to come home and just veg out and relax as best I could. This is crazy and don't know what to believe. Can you help or can someone help. Please. Linda
Linda, I am sorry to read that you are still having anxiety attacks.
Maybe you should take the loprazam twice a day to even out, just a thought. Also I think your level and dose is not just right yet. Other than that, I think you are doing right with the breathing exercises, etc.
Remember though, it does take time for most to feel better once level and dose is correct for them. I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe others will have more that will help you, if not help with some confidence and hope. Just keep as positive as possible. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
