User Reviews for Synthroid oral

Have taken it for 3 months and my hair has been falling out for over 2 months.

Makes me tired.

my daughter is 7wks old and has congenital hypotyroidism and it is hard to give her the medicine.I have to crush half of the pill up and give it to her in a bottle , can't you make a liquid form ?

when i first started the medicine i felt that it was not going to help but after about 2months of taking it,, i saw a difference. i was not as tired or moody and my skin was looking alot better. alot of other people saw a big change in me and now its way better.

I am tired and listless all of the time.

my tsh changes every 6 mo.

I found out I was hypothyroid 4 years ago. The Dr. started my synthroid dosage low and raised it slowly over 2 years. Two years later I needed an increase again. It works for me as long as the dosage is correct. This is a slow time released drug. It needs time to work. I've also learned that weight loss is possible but harder which means I have to work harder and eat right. I know my body after all these years and pay attention to it. As my thyroid gets worse, I need a higher dosage. That's the way it works. I also pay attention to the directions. Empty stomach, no dairy, no iron for up to 4 hours.Read More Read Less

is there a risk of taking this medication with consuming grapefruit?

I have had sucess with synthroid and feel great! I was put on it after my surgery and have been adjusted once. I feel great and thankful to be alive...

I have only been taking this for 10 weeks. At first it was great, I was having terrible pains in my stomach and if I ate they got worse, I can eat now with out any trouble. My legs started to hurt after about a week and just got worse. If I could find something to take the pain away that would be great. However, I found that I can't take my lexapro, I get headaches.

lost 20 pounds, very weak,incontinence,feet and legs hurt

I've been on thyroid meds for over 10 years. I've tried the generic and it doesn't work, tried the natural hormone and it was difficult for me to take it twice in one day, and I've been on brand name synthroid and I've had to have it upped a couple times (just had it checked again yesterday...if it comes back still not at the right level, I may just try the natural hormone again).

My thyroid completely stopped functioning. I have been taking this medication for over 12 years. It is a lifesaver! I still cope with aspects of my condition, but I am glad I have this medication in my arsenal!

been on this for 1 month-feel like im dying-rapid heartbeat,vomiting,panic attacks,short of breath,cramping all over my body, headache--dr. says keep taking it--i stopped it--felt relief within 4 days off of it--refuse to take it & live like that--is there anything else out there to try to regulate my thyroid-tsh is at a very dangerous level.
