User Reviews for Synthroid oral

good

Im 54 and had my thyroid totally removed, papillary cancer, March 2009. I was put on SYNTHROID 125MCG. Heart raced woke me up. Weight gain of 20 lbs which I was told would happen. Hate it, but with diet Im maintaining my weight with no more gain. With having blood work every 6 months my numbers are good, but my doctor told me Its how I feel not always in the number levels. So from 2009 to now 2012 Im taking 88MCG daily and only half a pill on Sundays. I have lots of energy, some nights I crash early. I will probably never drop the 20 lbs Ive gained but I do drop up to 5lbs when I really work on a diet and exercise. Over all Im very pleased with SNTHROID.Read More Read Less

This medication has caused me no noticeable side effects.

I'm two years post total thyroidectomy and I've been on Synthroid since my surgery. I've had very significant weight gain, battles with severe fatigue, depression, big mood problems, constipation, very heavy periods that caused iron and ferritin deficiency, and now a total crisis with continual leg and foot cramping, some cramping also into my upper body and non-stop muscle twitching. My Vit. D levels are low although I have very good dietary intake. My new endocrinologist took me off Synthroid and started me on Tirosint and Cytomel. I've started the Tirosint alone - and even without the Cytomel I've already noticed some significant difference after about seven days. I do not believe Synthroid has been an adequate replacement for my total thyroidectomy - not at all - and I am concerned my muscle crisis and vitamin depletion might be directly related to Synthroid. I urge anyone who's quality of life is totally being affected like this to BE PERSISTENT and AGGRESSIVE about finding a doctor and medication/supplement combination that WORKS! There's NO REASON to continue to suffer needlessly.....Read More Read Less

i still feel tired and still gain weight

Removed Thyroid due to papillary cancer tumor. It's been about 5 years and it took a while to get the dosage correct but I am now at my optimum level. No side effects to date.

been about a month since I started taking 025 mcg of syntroid and since then I am more fatigued and week feeling always tired even more so now.Told my DR. at the VA and was told to keep taking it even though it makes me feel sick! Not sure what to do

I feel I need an adjustment, even though it says my throid is excellent.

this med has caused my heart rate to raise up to 122 per minute

excess fluid retention in abdomen. BNP 1200 going up since started Synthroid meds. abdominal discomfort, getting harder to breathe.

I was prescribed by my doctor to start Synthroid,and just after one pill i had the worst headache and didnt feel good overall. So i quit taking it.

ive been feeling good..

It's very good, but I need to know what will happen if I go off of it suddenly. I have not had the money to get it.

massive anxiety, even with a decreased dosage, including sweats and shaking.. could not handle it and now do not know what to do..

Still have all symptoms of under active thyroid. also very severe difficulty walking.

I keep waiting for this to start working

I have been on the medication since birth, now i am 26 years old. Changed meds once when i was a teen, didnt feel the same. This is the best medication for thyroid.

still have all symptoms of being hypothyroid

leg weakness - feel like I will fall - difficulty walking - cannot go up or down a step - nervous - anxious -
