User Reviews for liothyronine oral

I felt great before taking this drug and had no symptoms besides weight gain. Since taking I have rapidly gained 9 more pounds have become fatigued. Feel nausea, have no appetite, having digestive problem and not sleeping well.

Took synthroid for a year, could not lose weight, even gained, became chronically fatigued after working out. Got a second opinion and he put me on this in addition to the synthroid and it was like the old me came back! I can stay up until 10:00 at night and wake up after 8 hours rested. Can work out, and have lost 5 pounds in the last two weeks. Can't believe how much more energy I have, feeling more optimistic since I'm not exhausted all the time.

have a bit more energy.

i've been on this for about 6 months, I've noticed that most of my symtoms have gone away. But I am worried because I've gained about 15 pounds! Any ideas?

05 was added to my Levoxal which was upped to 125, so far notice a little more energy and mood swings have improved some. Had to go back to 100 on levoxal, heart palipitations, already have afib and take a heart rhythem drug. Last few day feeling itchy all over anyone else have this?

Iv only been on 50mcg once a day and my hips keep hurting. Is this normal i cant find where to look

I take 1/2 of 5 mcg tab 2 times daily. I feel better the cloud is lifting, I might need a little stronger but over all better everytime I sit down I don't fall asleep.

It took about 4 -5 days and I could feel the old me coming back - very surprised wieght stable - mood improving -no notable effects other than more energy - will write again in next 10 days

My provider added 25 mcg of liothyronine to my levothyroxine because I wasn't responding as well as she thought I should be to the T4 alone. After several weeks of hyper symptoms, I fought through it and I have now stabilized. The worst side effects were restless leg syndrome, palpitations, racing thoughts/anxiety, and loose bowels. All of that has stabilized, and I take both my meds right before bed. Big difference in quality of life issues.

it has made my muscles very weak & a great amount of weight loss

I was put on this medication to increase my seratonin levels, as an alternative to adding more SNRI type medications, as it's considered an alternative therapy when weight-neutral options are needed. It has really helped with my fatigue issues, as well as my overall happiness. Initially, I had some sensitivity issues, but after 3 days or so I adjusted. Each increase causes a recurrence and headaches, but we are treading lightly for that reason. I have some digestive upset as well, but simple nausea medications combat this easily.Read More Read Less

i started taking 5 mg in the morning, i have not felt well since then, i have many health problems and wonder i i should take this

on 1 week, dizzy and have pain in lower back. Dr said to stay on 4 weeks and then another blood test. anyone else have back pain? Have had thyroid problem 30 yrs, and just finding out synthroid not doing job

i have so many lingering symptoms,decided to have doctor add this to my levothroine,seems to give me a boost i greatly need and way less pain everywhere..

I have used this medicine for over 6 months and had to up it a couple of times. i take generic synthroid also. I have lost 14 pounds this year and gotten off of anti anxiety meds. I doing much better.

I STARTED TO TAKE THIS MEDICATION THREE WEEKS AGO. I AM BIPOLAR 1 AND DEVELOPED SEVERE HYPOIRRITABILTY. DR. TOLD ME TO REDUCE THE MEDICATION THAT I AM TAKEN CALLED CELEXA. THE COMBINATION OF TAKEN THE CELEXA AND THE LIOTHYRONINE SENT ME IN TO A TAIL SPIN. HOWEVER REDUCING THE CELEXA TO ONLY 10 MGS INSTEAD OF 20 HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I HAVE'NT FELT THIS BALANCED IN OVER 3 WEEKS. MOODS KEPT CYCLING IN A VERY ERATIC WAY. ONCE I REDUCED THE ANTIDEPRESSENT CYLEXA I BECAME MORE STABILIZED.

I have Stage 3 papillary cancer. All thyroids have been removed. Just started on Synthroid and wanted to offer my one week usage. I have not experienced any ill effects as of yet and hope none occur. I was on a low-iodine diet for 2-weeks prior to this followed my 150 mCI of I-131, so I may be seeing some false positives. Especially since I am now eating a normal diet.

I take 4 of the 5MCG tablets a day (all at the same time). I didn't think they worked at all until I stopped taking them for a month. Mood swings, headaches, and all the problems I had forgotten I had return. I have not had any dizzyness or reaction to this drug.

I have palpitations from using it and my BP goes way higher than usual. I feel I can't get a full breath of air.
