wow thryroid ***** it like a never ending medical problem that you cant get right. my doctor told me i was taking to much medication also. she said it could lead to bone loss and rapid heart rate. i coul dnot lose weight so i self increased bad idea i guess but i have lost 24 pounds in about 6 weeks. so im also trying to find out the real side effects of synthroid.

i am going through the same thing. don't know if you have gotten it worked out by now, but my doc didn't look up a conversion when switching me from 150mcg of levo to armour so put me on 150 mg of it. thats the same as 250 mcg of levo. now he's trying to save face and say he meant to and thats what i should be on. i feel like i'm about to have a heart attack half the time. i went to another doc but he is covering for him too. he agreed with me till he talked to the other doc. a little fishy.

I was taking 25 mg of synthroid for 3 yr and the doctor decided to put me on 125 mg and I have experience all sorts of problems - heart - stomach - memory - tremors - and on and on - but she feels as though I need to be on 125 - My blood work is way out of line and shows that I am way over medicated.  A MRI now shows I even have excess iron in the brain - couses this have been caused by the Synthroid.
