synthroid stopped my hot flashes-no more hot flashes

Has anyone experienced this?
Want to hear from the ladies if your hot flashes went away while on proper dosage of your thyroid medication and what happened to you exactly. My hot flashes went away altogether after only a week of being on correct dosage of synthroid.  I wondered if this was normal. (Not that im complaining:) It has been wonderful and im never going back to wrong dosage ever again, if only for that very reason.
Thank you.

Recently I have had the same experience. I was having serious hot flashes which I attributed to menopause. I am at the age.... But as soon as the thyroid meds kicked in, hot flashes dissipated and have since disappeared.

"During the peri-menopausal years (the 10 to 15 years before menopause) and menopause (menopause means one year with no periods), it is common for women to suffer a multitude of hormonal complaints. Hot flashes, night sweats and sleep disturbances are common complaints during this time in a woman's life. Most would think these symptoms are associated with a decline in estrogen, but they are also hallmark symptoms of low thyroid, especially night sweats and insomnia." - Excerpt from Healthy Immunity - Thyroid (Hypothyroidism)
