Unithroid 0.15mg (150mcg) Tablets: My Experience and Questions

I've been prescribed Unithroid 0.15mg (150mcg) tablets for hypothyroidism and have been taking them for a few months now. I've noticed some improvements in my energy levels, but I'm also experiencing some hair loss. I've read that this is a common side effect, but it's still worrying. Has anyone else dealt with this? Also, what are some other possible side effects to look out for? I want to make sure I'm prepared. Anyone have any tips for managing side effects or general advice on living with hypothyroidism?

When I first started taking this, my doctor recommended a low-sodium diet to help with the symptoms. I noticed a big difference in how I felt, so it might be worth considering if you're experiencing weight gain or swelling.

Be aware of excessive sweating as a side effect. I didn't think much of it at first, but it became a real issue. Thankfully my doctor adjusted my dose and it improved. Little things like this can be so helpful to note.

My shoe size changed. And I’m not joking. It wasn’t a dramatic change, but my shoes were noticeably tighter than before.

I haven't experienced any side effects at all—touch wood. Maybe I'm just lucky, but it's been a smooth ride for me so far.
