Suppressed appetite, increased insominia, indigestion & bloating.

I have been on Synthroid from 2007-present 2012. The side affects has cause me to be very,very,very,annoyed for no reasons. The dosage of 150MCG is supposedly the right amount. If this make any since,it's not the medication its the darn side effects. Its ridiculous.

I am on .300 of this medication and have gained over 200 lbs since 1991. I have skipped taking it and can't tell a difference whether I take it or not. My body is not absorbing the medication?

extreme dry eyes and lips, hard to concentrate

I take a low dose for hypothyroid condition resulting from sub acute thyroiditis. I never experienced any significant symptoms of low thyroid function after. becoming ill with thyroiditis; however, my endocrinologist advised the medication based on blood tests. No adverse effects or restrictions upon my very physically active life-style.

My thyroid panel was TSH 4.660, FT3 was 1.72 and FT4 was .57. In the first four weeks of taking this medication I saw improvement in my body and the feeling of being hot all the time. During the 5-6 week period I seem to feel better than before taking the medication but not as good as the first four weeks. It has been over two months now and the feeling of being hot and the weak feeling is returning to the pre-medication levels.

I had no symptoms of hypothroid but due to annual blood test was told I was hypo - have taken synthroid 3 different times over past 4-5years 1. .75 - weight gain of 7-8 lbs over several months, weight came off within month of stopping dosage 2. repeat of above 3. after another annual appt - increased to .88 - 12-5-11 stopped 1-28-12 due to 12 lbs. weight gain in 7 weeks! - have dropped 7 lbs in less than 3 weeks 4. unless I develop symptoms I will refuse this medication - may ask for Armour if dr. insistsRead More Read Less

I have felt better since they added cytomel to my synthroid it helped more with: skin not feeling like sandpaper especially eyelids and overall face, constipation

I'm on .75 mcg hypothyroid. My current symptoms swelling of the hands and ankles, heart palpatations, sweating, feels like I'm having a heart attack at times.

I have been on and off synthroid for about 5 years and have never liked it. the side effects I had were worse than the disease. I just found a new endocrinologist that is letting me try Armour thyroid, I hope it works or not sure what to do next.

I have taken Synthroid for 25 years and have never had any problem with it. It fixed my fatigue and I feel great. I tried the generic levothyroxine for a while because it was much cheaper but my TSH tests were all over the place so I went back to Synthroid. My pharmacist said he had seen that result in quite a few people. It is much less expensive now than it was when I first started taking it.

not so tired
