User Reviews for L-Thyroxine oral

I am In love! Kinda... It really helped me to get rid on all my symptoms like hair loss cold all the time the list goes on but the one I was really hoping it would help was my weight problem. I have been on a diet forever and i was 223 now i was down to 169 but after taking this drug i am now 187 and going up. and I am very mad about that!

doctors office still says my thyroid is high increased dosage from 75mcg to 100 mcg what do you think

It works

gaining weight

not sure i have now got muscle weekness and under the skin itching.im elderly i felt fine before given these tablets to take .i never felt i had a under active thyroid.drs dont seem to listen though

Half the symptoms are unbearable, Doctor will not listen so will probably get off the drug. Sounds like others have the same problems.

i had radioactive iodine to get rid of the oveactive thyroid i have felt worse than ever panic attacks have returned weight gain sleep all the time am on diazapam and other drugs.i am sure it is down to thyroxine.i dread getting up in the mornings for work as that it is the worse time for me will it ever end palpatations lightheaded and trembling i am going to docs again and hope he can sort it out for me i just want to be well again

When I first started taking the medication I felt better but now I have the feeling of pressure in my throat.

I believe this medication is causing my hair to fall out, no other med Im on has that as a possible side effect. Also didnt know would cause red face which I have sinse taking this, feel tired, chest pains that I didnt relate to the med. but see as a side effect, think its time to get off it, I got on it bcs was told it could help w/ fibromyalgia pain and chronic pain, but it hasnt in over a year. Comment on severe shoulder pain was interesting as I also began having to take injections for arm and shoulder pain, possibly from this too?? Im stopping this very soon, guess I need to wean down.Read More Read Less

I hate this medicine and I am hoping to go back on Synthroid...I have gained 10 lbs, am extrememly irritable and have the worst arm/shoulder pain (only noticed this while on this medication). I felt better on synthroid...It has been 1 yr and I have been on so many different dosage levels to try to help my hypothroidism...I am getting extremely frustrated...

I AM EASILY IRRITATED AND HAVE GAINED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WEIGHT WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION.. I STOPPED TAKING THIS MEDICATION AND SYMPTOMS HAVE STARTED TO DECREASE.. I know my family is happy with my decision.

I have been on this medication for two years and still don't feel any better. I still have extreme tiredness, muscle pain, acid reflux and weight gain yet my blood tests say Im within range.

I have been taking this medication for treatment of an under active thyroid. For the first several weeks, I felt my heart was racing and I was very irritable. I stuck with it, as my doctor said that my body would possibly adjust to the medication. It did. I took it for close to 7 months but had occasional chest pain, which I didn't know if this had anything to do with or not. I also developed a stomach ulcer, so I stopped taking this med for about 5 days during which time I felt somewhat more tired and cold. I decided to start taking it again after my stomach felt better. I took half a tablet. I felt horrible. My heart started racing again and I felt like I was running a marathon but at the same time, I felt tired. Hard to describe. I also noticed my EXTREME irritability with everything around me, including my family. The bad thing is, I have no idea if this drug is even doing what it is supposed to be doing because my thyroid hasn't been rechecked. I can't take a drug that makes me feel this poorly. It's not worth it. But what is the alternative? I am on the lowest dose possible. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!Read More Read Less

I have noticed since the increase that I am too high strung but now I feel close to normal again. My energy is better & my weight gain has stopped, starting to lose quickly from underactive thyroid.

Im looking for a natural alternative via food

Lately I am more tired, stiffer and have a problem with nail growth.

I think I have been gaining weight with this drug and I am extemely tired. I started taking it after I had nodules and the right thyroid removed
