I have been taking Levoxyl for about 2 years. I have told my Endo doctor many that I have had headaches, nausea, stomach pains and have gained 40+ pounds in the 2 years. Every time I go in to review my blood tests and tell her I'm not feeling right I get the same respondents as a lot of you; they are you sure you are not pregnant? you need to change your diet and eat right? you exercising enough?...The Dr always seems to ignore my symptoms. The last 4 weeks have been Hell for me...I woke up one morning thinking my stomach was going to burst. I went to the Er. They did an ultrasound...found nothing..gave me stomach reflux meds and I went home. 2 days later the pain was a lot stronger right under the center below my rib cage. Went back to the er. They gave me more protonics and gave me a gi dr. I went to the GI doctor and got a contrast scan and then a scope. They of course found NOTHING. A week later I woke up again with the worst pain yet and the cold sweats...to the point where I was going to pass out...Went back to the Er where they gave me a cat scan. Everything was perfect the er doctor said. "They said they couldn't tell me what was wrong". I knew I wasn't going crazy and having all these symptoms but no one could explain why or what is was. I was getting fed up of being sick...So I took my Levoxyl like I do every morning and within 15 mins the pain was back. I went online to look up the side effects of Levoxyl and found this site. Its great to know that I am not the only one out there with these side effects from this medication and am not going crazy! I made an apt with my Endo Dr today called and told her this med was making me sick. She made me have an apt with her assistant. I printed off this page to show her I wasn't alone. As of today I am off of Levoxyl. Thanks to the new Dr who FINALLY listened to me. I do not have to take any other form of this med either. Since I just had a nodule not hypothyroidism. Please Can anyone tell me what they went through from withdrawal from this medication? and anything that helped it go away? and How long did the "detox" from Levoxyl last?

I can't believe that this drug is legal and that it has not been taken off the market. I have been on it for a year and couldn't understand why I was gaining weight, nothing helped to get those pounds off. I started at 160 and now at 195 and growing. Three years ago I had triple bypass, weight 150, some of the meds caused some weight gain, but nothing like this. My joints was so sore in the morning I couldn't hardly walk, I just knew I was going to be using a walker if this kept up. BTW I'm 65 female, always been active and busy, now I just do what I have to or can and that doesn't make me happy. I have recently been having crying spells and sore throat, voice lost, and enlarged tongue. The enlarged tongue caused me to do some searching on side effects.....I am so glad I found this page. I haven't taken any puffs of Advair since., that was 3 days ago. My tongue is starting to shrink, my joints aren't as sore, my crying is stopping. The weight is still with me and might never lose it, time will tell. I don't seem as hungry and eating less so maybe there is hope. This is a drug that should have Big warning all over it. Advair has taken a year of my life at this point. If there is ever a law suit I would be the 1st to sign. I didn't have that many breathing issues and really didn't understand why the Dr. put me on it.
I usually check up on drugs before I take them, this one slipped through the cracks, guess cause it wasn't a pill. At this point I just hope that others find this in time and stop using Advair before it ruins their lives.
God Bless

I have been on Loestrin for almost a month now and so far I like it. I was on the depo shot since 2005 and I had gained 25 pounds, so I felt it was time for a change. The only upside to the Depo was that I never got a period, but I felt that I'd rather lose weight and deal with the bleeding. I just started the brown iron pills yesterday and woke up with spotting this morning; so far so good, my body has seemed to adjust fine. I have noticed that I have been in a much better mood and the bloating I had experienced almost every day with the Depo is completely gone. I would defiantly recommend this pill to others, but I would suggest taking the pill at the same time every day, give or take a few minutes, and to take it in the morning with plenty of water. To me, taking this pill early in the day gives your body time to react and adjust comfortably.

okay so I am new the B.C and I was taking Alesse for about 3-4 months and once i started on the fourth month I started to get terrible nightmares and they never seemed to go away, first I thought it was because I was stress but the thing was I wasn't stressed I just started going out with my boyfriend and my family life is not bad, so I didn't understand it till I told one of my girlfriends in class and sje told me that there was some bad stuff about Alesse, so I was going to switch. But yesterday my pharmacist dropped off my pills and it wasn't Alesse it was Aviane and I was like what ... but I took it anyways because I have really bad cramps that come with my period and such so I took it for the first time this morning with out knowing what it was about. My doctor didn't even tell me about it. so I decided to go look on the internet to see what it was about... and now I don't know I mean I have a bad enough time with my normal period let along it getting worse because of this pill. I really don't want that to happen to me, like I am only 16 so i don't worry about the sex drive stuff but mood swings I don't want that to screw up my new relationship with a great guy.
So if any one can tell me the straight facts and help me out because I don't know if I want to go to my doctor and ask her to switch me before i even get to the end of the pack.... so please any help would be great.
areas that help would be awesome in is
what pill to go to if I do switch
what are the main side effects
what is the best thing to do if I do get these side effects
Loestrin 24 Fe (2) Aviane (1) Ambien (1) Advair Diskus (1) Levoxyl (1) M-End DM (1) NuvaRing (1) Klonopin (1) Mirena (1)
