Synthroid 0.15mg (150mcg) tablets: My experience with Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism
I've been taking Synthroid 0.15mg (150mcg) tablets for my hypothyroidism for about six months now, and I've had a mix of experiences. Initially, I felt a significant improvement in my energy levels, but I've also dealt with some side effects like hair loss and mood changes. I'm curious to know if others have had similar experiences or if there are any tips for managing these side effects. Additionally, I've been careful to monitor for any serious side effects as listed, but I'm interested in hearing about others' vigilance and precautions.
Why do they make us choose between feeling like a zombie and feeling like we're about to explode?
I wish more people talked about the mental health side effects. It's been a rollercoaster for me.
Seriously, if you experience any of the serious side effects, don't wait. Go to the ER. Better safe than sorry.
I've been on Synthroid for years and the hair loss was tough at first, but it did grow back. Just be patient and keep your doctor in the loop.
I had no idea Synthroid could cause such a wide range of side effects. Glad I'm not the only one dealing with this.
I switched from brand-name Synthroid to a generic and noticed a difference. Might be worth discussing with your doctor if you're having issues.
I had terrible stomach cramps at first, but they went away after a few weeks. Hang in there!
Just started Synthroid and already feeling better. Fingers crossed the side effects stay minor.
