When I took this medication and exercised, I was able to lose weight. My doctor changed me to Levothyroxine and it has not helped me at all. I was wondering if Thyroid was still made available or if doctor's only prescribe Levothyroxine?

I had a thyroidectomy in 2010 due to an autoimmune genetic problem and have been on it since. After so much research on the Brand name I had decided to go the natural route and so far so good.

After several years of dieting and exercise, I was given this medication to maintain weight loss, as I could gain weight very easily and struggled to lose it or maintain a "normal" weight. This has assisted me greatly in avoiding obesity and being able to eat like a normal person without excessive weight gain.
