Have had heart bypass surgery. Doctors not catching an increase of my TSH, relying on blood tests too much. Believe lack of thyroid diagnosis caused my atherosclerosis over time. Had a Dr. try and switch me to synthetic, had chest pains and an unwanted nuclear scan within 3 days. Back on natural thyroid hormones.

Also had a bad allergic reaction to this drug. Had used Nature-Throid for 2 years with no issues, drug store said they were switching to this. Within 5 days had rash starting on face, spread to stomach and legs with horrible itching. Took 2 weeks to go away after stopping drug.

It was easy to use but it caused allergy reaction and made me super tired. I was getting headaches a lot, broke out a rash my side of my face, severe itching. And stomach problem that was getting worst each day I took it.

I have no thyroid since birth. I've noticed that everyone who's been on Westhroid a month (or less) has so so satsifaction & effectiveness but those who have been on it longer (stable) have had great reviews. It is week 4 for me so I'm going to stick it out after seeing this. I feel better about it now.
