Just started Levo-T 175mcg Tablets for hypothyroidism - any tips or shared experiences?
I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and prescribed Levo-T 175mcg Tablets. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects and wanted to know if anyone else has taken this medication and had any issues. I'm particularly concerned about the more serious side effects like allergic reactions and high blood pressure. Also, I read that hair loss is a possible side effect, and I'm wondering how common that is. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
I've been on Levo-T for a while now, and it's been a game-changer. I noticed some hair loss in the first few months, but it grew back. Just give it time and keep your doctor in the loop.
I took Levo-T for a few months and started gaining weight despite eating the same amount. My doctor also changed my dosage.
Serious side effects are rare, but always better to be safe. If you experience symptoms like chest pain or trouble breathing, go to the ER ASAP.
When I started Levo-T, I noticed I was sweating a lot more and feeling really hot all the time. It turned out I was on too high a dose, so my doctor adjusted it and I felt much better.
Make sure to take it on an empty stomach and avoid food for at least an hour after. I noticed a big difference in how it affects me based on when I take it.
Honestly, the hair loss was the worst part for me. It started falling out in clumps, but my doctor assured me it was temporary. I'm on month 6 and it's growing back. Stay positive.
I had a really bad allergic reaction to Levo-T. I felt like my throat was closing and I had hives all over. It was terrifying. That was a few years ago.
I've been on this for about a year and I've had zero side effects. I take it at night before bed and I feel great. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
I thought it was just me, but I have had exactly the same experience. I'm so glad the hair grows back because it's scary.
