Chemist changed my medication from Oroxine to levoxine. I have persevered for two and a half months but it feels like is not working at all, I have had major weight gain in that time and no energy

Pharmacist switched me from Oroxine to Levoxine and it's been a disaster. I took the same dosage but it's like I've never taken any thyroid medication. Hypothyroid symptoms reappeared with a vengeance - inexplicable weight gain, great sensitivity to cold, hair loss. I've immediately switched back to Oroxine and having GP test my blood levels again. Do not switch unless under supervision.
