Levothyroxine (25ug) for hypothyroidism

Since i started this medication my health has only gotten worse. All in all, i am pretty uncomfortable. Because of this, i have stopped taking this medication because it is only counterproductive towards my health. I'm going to try to use Tirosint instead, hopefully this will work better for me.

Levothyroxine (125ug) for hypothyroidism

The medicine works fine. The thyrax worked too, but i'm never going to take that again because i don't want to go back to the manufacturer that just let its patients sit for a year alone. That was too crazy for words.

I declared an autoimmune thyroid during the summer of 2016 which was diagnosed in October 2016. I was immediately put under Lévothyrox 50 then under Lévothyrox 75 in January 2017 and under Lévothyrox 100 in March 2017. That's when the many side effects appeared. Not being stabilized at that time my doctor put these side effects under the stroke of hormonal imbalance. But since my TSH rate is ba...

Levothyroxine (100ug) for hypothyroidism

I've been on treatment for 20 years, I was fairly quickly stabilized, with a few variations over these 20 years. I never had to complain about this treatment.

Levothyroxine (25ug) for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GORD)

I take Levothyrox 25 since the year 2002 and I have never had a problem. Since the beginning of the year, I have big stomach problems, burning in the esophagus, fatigue, hot flashes. I had a fibroscopy but I did not find anything. I also saw an ENT. But nothing on that side either. Now I wonder whether it's not from the Levothyrox. I'll talk to my doctor on my next visit.
