User Reviews for Synthroid oral

Fortunately for me, I got advice from a "natural cure physician" before I would even take one medication of Synthroid. After researching the medication, I decided to look at an alternative. I am now taking a supplement for my thyroid rather than a lifetime of Synthroid. People...........there are other alternatives!!!!! I can't wait for my next lab work in a month or so to see if my numbers have changed for the best!!

havent noticed change

I will never take this medication again, it was a very bad experience.

i developed an overactive thyroid in 1999 and it was radiated and killed. i am suffering severe fatigue even tho my tsh is within normal range.

No problems to report

My hair started falling out in handfulls. It caused pounding heartbeat to the point I thought I was having a heart attack.

shakes headache muscle weakness

Depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, sweating, insomnia

I am 26 year old woman living in California. I have been on medication for Hypothyroidism for 2 years. For the first year my doctor, as most of the doctors, put me on Synthroid. I did not like this medicine for nothing, because it's three times more expensive than Armour, I was constantly loosing hair (I was lietrally getting bold) and I was very miserable and depressed, and my face was puffy and dull all the time. My doctor would always have to increase dosage and then I got anemia, so he had to put me on iron medication. After one year I was done with Synthroid and I told my doctor I want to try "Armour", because I read so many good things about it. His reply was " If you really want to, but I don't recommend it because it's an old way of treating hypothyroidism". But I insisted, so I've been on Armour for more than 1 year, I FEEL GREAT!!!! My hair are growing back so much, my skin again is healthy and glowing , I am not depressed, simply I got myself back :)I would definitely recommend everyone chose Armour over Synthroid, at least give it a try :) LIKE I DID :) Good luck to everyone!!!Read More Read Less

I AM TAKEN THIS MEDICINE ON ADVICE FROM MY DOCTOR

It works.

I have been taking levothyroxine for 25 years. Both my mother and sister had/have an under active thyroid. I take my pill at night so that I can take calcium in the mornings. At one point my TSH levels rose again and I lost hair, but once the medication was regulated again, all was well. Just be sure to have TSH checked once a year.

It took about 7-8 months to find the right dosage, but finally got there. I just found out that Synthroid is no longer Gluten Free. This is of importance to me as I have Celiac disease. Not sure what to do now. I know changing thyroid meds can prove to be a nightmare.

Nails thinning, but my TSh is now perfect

Currently having difficulty regulating my dose . . . recently lost quite a bit of weight.

I've been on the generic form and it has worked well, was increased from 50 to 75 mcg. no problems so far.

95% thyroid removed years ago and have been on this drug since..works for me

i have been on it now for two weeks and my systems seem worse not getting any better
