User Reviews for Euthyrox oral

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroid disease in 2021. I started on Synthroid and was doing great but it was real expensive. My doctor suggested Euthyrox which he said is just like Synthroid , a pure form but cheaper. So I switched over to Euthyrox. It has been a year and I have been suffering tremendously. Like all these reviews I experienced joint pain, fatigue, and brain fog. But the worst was my anxiety and uncontrollable crying. Now, everyone I am around knows me as a happy go lucky person, always smiling. This drug affected that. I was experiencing uncontrollable crying. I was up all night with anxiety and panic. My heart would race, I would break out in a sweat. I was frightened. This last episode i had was extreme. I was crying and couldn’t stop. I was sitting on the floor in the bathroom crying and crying, and praying to God to take this from me. Then I heard the Lord speak to me. He said check your thyroid medicine side effects. It was all there!!! Now I am back on Synthroid. My symptoms are gone (3weeks later) I praise God everyday. I’ve got my life back!!Read More Read Less

I'm hypothyroid, Hashimotos. Have been for over 40 years. I've been taking Synthroid/Levothyroxine for most of this time. Walmart switched to Euthyrox telling me it was the same, so basiclly a generics generic. It didn't work for me. My TSH levels are at 6.0 at this time. Walmart swithed back to the levo about 5 months ago. It's going to take about a year to get my TSH levels back to normal.

Taking Euthyrox for over 15 years already. But 4 year go we moved to USA could not find Euthyrox so went on other meds that and my thyroid counts stayed unbalance till we move to TN 18 months go and Walmart had Euthyrox and in 3 months my thyroid count balance and it stayed stabled for the whole time now no more up and down days for me.

Euthyrox has changed life in the worst way. Walmart pharmacy switched me over to this almost 2 years ago. Gradually my level started getting lower and lower. Within the past six months my levels dropped dramatically. I could never figure out why I was always getting depressed and suffering from anxiety and hair loss amongst other issues. It was getting to the point to where I felt like I couldn’t go on with my day to day life. I’m so thankful that my best friend and I figured out that this medication may be the cause. I’ve since reached out to my doctor and asked him to prescribe me the name brand medication (Synthroid). I go back in 30 days to have my TSH tested again. I will give an update on how I’m feeling and my levels. Read More Read Less

Google this drug. Walmart switched me without asking and said it was the same about two years ago. I started having chest pains this week. over the past two years I have increased headaches, constipationn, fatigue and palpatations. I thought maybe that's normal for mid 40s, But that doesn’t seem to be the case after reading drugs.com and seeing what other people are going through. You’ll see France sued the german company. You also see Walmart and IBM joined forces with that pharmaceutical to help keep needed meds on the shelf. Walmart has some invested interest. pray these symptoms subside now that I’m on the original meds I took for over 10 years. I started them back two days ago. Read More Read Less

This acts as a buffer it works as long as I modify my diet. I don't have diabetes just have Hashimotos. I wonder if they changed the formula in the last few months. My diet has been the same as Im losing an extra pound or 2 a month.

Walmart switched the brand that I had been taking to euthyrox... after several months of taking euthyrox at the same dosage I had been taking, all the usual symptoms returned and my TSH skyrocketed to 18.500. Stay away from this brand

This is the only brand that works for me. I have no side effects from it. My dose is 75micrograms. I wish they would make one in 75 because i have to take 2 pills each morning~ one of 25 and another of 50 so price is double for me. But it is a lifesaver and works amazing for me. I feel normal and not sick like before.

Stay far away from this new thyroid poison pill from Germany! I’ve been taking Levothyroxin for 15 years, and Wal-Mart Pharmacy switched me to this junk out of nowhere. I just trusted the Pharmacist, (said it was all the same) and started taking it. 6 months in, I am a wreck. Thyroid levels way off, severe heart palpitations, anxiety, depression, blood pressure sky rocketed, insomnia, zero appetite, major constipation, and occasional migraines and headaches. DON’T LET THE PHARMACY DICTATE WHAT YOU TAKE! TELL YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE ANY MED CHANGES! I blindly assumed all thyroid medicines are the same. They are not! Euthyrox needs to be banned. Period. I haven’t taken it in 4 days, and i feel much better, but I need my regular thyroid meds. I see my doctor tomorrow to work this out and get back to my old meds and God willing, my old self. Good luck to all of you in your health. Read More Read Less

My thyroid dropped down so low and I had brain fog and my kidneys started acting up. I got dark circles at the bottom of my eyes and had skin peeling The Euthorox Walmart switched me to was horrible . I didn't understand why my thyroid levels dropped so low. I called Walmart and asked them to put me back on leverthyroid but they said that was all they could get. I moved my precriptions to Publix and I have been back on leverthyroid for three days and I am starting to feel better. I would not recommend Euthorox to no one after my experience.Read More Read Less

I was perfectly fine on the old formula, no side effects. The new formula has ruined my life all because these pharmacists want more money !!!! Hair loss, infertility, Nausea, stomach burns. Even when swallowing the new pill I feel it burning all the way down. How can pharmacists do this to people ?!?!?

Lower thyroid levels than normal, heart palpitations came back, extreme hair loss, fatigue, facial skin rash, low grade fevers, feeling cold, histamine issues which never started until I began taking Euthyrox.

Substituted by my Wal-Mart pharmacy. 6 weeks in and I thought I was going crazy. Brain fog, no concentration and it oddly enough affected my prostate. Went back to Levothyoxrine and by day 2 felt normal again.

6 months ago Walmart pharmacy changed my levothyroxine to Euthyrox. I questioned the pharmacist and was told it’s the same thing. I ended up in the ER with critically low thyroid. That would explain the weight gain, insomnia, headaches and more. Shame on Walmart. They must have made a good deal with this drug company, not caring that I was on the brink of death. How do we get this drug off the market and make them responsible for messing with peoples lives?

How evil is this? How evil-mart switched my med brand ? They don’t care how dangerous doing this was . Your thyroid controls your major organs, you don’t mess around with someone’s life like this!! Evil Walmart substituted my levothyroxine with this crap! I was unknowingly taking this for at least 10 months , never realized that my med was switched to this poison. 6 months later I started losing my appetite, irritable, depression . Heart palpitations..The side effects continued to get worse month to month..As well as dull and loss of hair falling out like snow root & all. Hair was everywhere, my sink, my bathtub, on the back of my toilet seat, all my floors, in my food clothing,car, even underneath my pillow protecters.my vacuum clearer’s beater brush full of my hair , I even vacuumed every 3-4 days to keep track of all of the loss..I wad very emotional, I had major brain fog , I was crying more frequently, both my heart/ pulse were up & down..Irregular heartbeat , I sometimes could feel my heat beat , Disrupted sleep every night That poison had me waking up every 2 hrs . I finally called my doctors told him about all my side effects , so to be on the safe side he even put me on the name brand thyroid med “Synthroid” signed it as dispense as written, meaning no substitutes..My heart palpitations are far & few and in between now, I been on my “Synthroid “ for 2 months now , I just had blood work a few days ago & TSH levels came out within normal ..Please what ever u do if you are on the genetic brand of a thyroid med , make sure you check your refill bottles every time. Because if you are on a generic brand the drug stores can replace it with any other generic legally? Without notifying you of the change. I now pay $47 a month for my name brand Synthroid.. It may be a lot of money but my life is more important then the money. Besides after going through all I did , I never ever want to feel as badly as I did . Oh 2 more things I would like to mention.Did u know the difference between generic & name brand other then the price? When it comes to the dosage the generic brand varies , it’s not consistent with the dosage each & every time you refill .. Did you know that it’s recommended that once you are on a brand of Thyroid med it’s not recommended that you change brands? Of course unless one of them is not working well with your body..Well wishes & God Bless Read More Read Less

New modified euthyrox made in germany..is not suited with me,, while older version was very good for me..now taking new improved euthyrox made me exhausted,, decreased metabolic rate..lose appetite... Digestive system not working..

I was on synthroid for years for hypothyroidism with no issues. Started euthyrox in October of 2020. Suggested by my doctor, told it was the same but less expensive. Took my self to the er in February. Heart palpitations, felt like i was jumping out of my skin, unable to focus on anything, extreme anxiety, dizziness, blurred vision, ridges on my nails, hair loss, basically felt like i was going to die! All tests at er were normal. Went back to endocrinologist and turns out i was having hyperthyroidism symptoms! Now going on a month cold turkey and i finally feel like myself again. Oh, and my t3 and t4 free tests were high. Going back to doc next month for bloodwork and i imagine starting on a low dose of synthroid. Wish I would have found this page earlier. Euthyrox should be banned!Read More Read Less

WalMart pharmacy switched to this brand and within a couple weeks my thyroid levels dropped so low my doctor had to increase the dosage which didn't help much until I requested to be switched back to a different brand of levothyroxine.

I LOVE EUTHYROX! I have NO thyroid gland since a total thyroidectomy 19 years ago. Working with several docs & trying different thyroid replacement strategies for a few years, I finally settled on a routine that worked very well for 15 years. I took Levoxyl 75mcg and Levoxyl 88mcg on alternate days, PLUS 1/4 grain of Armour daily. About three years ago, things began to change. I began having fatigue & depression, yet my blood work remained "normal". I had heard that Levoxyl sometimes is recalled for potency issues, so I decided to try another brand. I switched to Euthyrox. The very next day I felt better than I had for quite some time. I ?? this stuff! I'm finding that 75mcg of Euthyrox daily works better than my previous 75/88 alternating schedule. I still take one little 1/4 gr tablet of Armour daily. According to several doctors and some small clinical trials, hypothyroid patients report feeling better on a combo of synthetic & natural thyroid. It is assumed that natural thyroid contains a broader spectrum of thyroid hormones & co-factors that enhance synthetic thyroid bioavailability. Based on my experience, I believe it. I've only taken Euthyrox for a few weeks. Things may change over time.Read More Read Less

When Walmart pharmacy switched me to this medicine- in 4 months time every joint in my body hurt. It was hard for me to walk, work, stay awake. For some reason this medicine at the same dose did not work for me. My thyroid level went to 3, I feel my best at 1.5. Feel like I was thrown out of a moving vehicle. Called the doctor and talked to pharmacist-Put me back on the old levothyroxine at once....
