Tweaked symptoms and conditions

I have been taking levoxyl for 13 years. I have experienced a lot of the symptons you describe. It took almost 5 years to find the right dosage that I feel normal on. Just because the TSH is in the normal range doesn't mean you'll feel normal. I went to a specialist who tweaked the doses till I felt my best. For me that is a TSH of between 1 and 2. If it goes lower or higher, even though it is in normal range I get symptons of either hypo or hyperthyroidism. Each time a dose is ajusted it takes a good 3 to 4 months for your body to adjust. So finding the right dose is a long process. And finding the right Doctor to work with you can be a long process. The Doctor told me the thyroid is the theromstate of your body and if it isn't set exactly right you'll feel it. It regulates everything. I have never had an allergic reaction side effect of levoxyl just dose related side effects and they can be very depressing. To give all of you hope I can say that once you find your dose you'll feel like your old self again.I feel better then ever.

l am astonished. For my physiology, they have tweaked a molecule that is unsurpassed in its ability to produce pathological insomnia. ADHD is my tag and I have a need for larger than average doses of stimulants: either dextroamphetamine (note applicable ladies and gents that if you're taking Adderall the following: pharmaceuticals are more commercially driven than ever now and the producer of Adderall have, amongst a few companies that pursued this tactic, have found a loop hole or a method they believe can foil the patent system: Shire Richwood. They re-issued a drug 'combo' and imply it is their creation when it was sold by several companies going back to the '60's. It's a strange mixture of different 'versions'; I'll call it, of amphetamine.). or Desoxyn (I hesitate to use its generic name methamphetamine: it has been so demonized by the media. If you go into a pharmacy in a large city, the only places that would carry a small supply, and present the Rx; a sudden aura of hell enshrouds the vicinity. Pharmacists retreat and discuss what should be done... another error in our (usually wise and valuable) system of checks & balances: a pharmacist has the right to in effect second GUESS the prescription holders malady, which they have no professional or personal knowledge of. Presenting a doctor's (and if you're going to a quality doctor who follow science rather than popularisms- there are fewer of the former than the latter.. they will know the truth of such things as Desoxyn®. Their duty and knowledge should not be permitted to be judged by the redundant cook that spoils the soup)

Back to Adderall. This is called a 'branded generic", and the pricing of same follows of course the former words characteristics. As mentioned, this is an EXACT copy of the combo sold before as diet pills. Shire Richwood did no research, rather did a few studies and then wiggled their way through the FDA/DEA to secure approval to manufacture an old recipe and be permitted to get it branded with attendant pricing.
Amphetamine was sythsized in 1888. Way before unless you are allergic to it, the safest and most true & tried drug Aspirin. Time (real non theoretical, laboratorial) is the most reliable source of information
The dextro part of the drug is the part that is safest and more specific in reaching the deficiencies present with the condition.

To close and reveal this designer drug's characteristics: bupropion (Wellbutrin). You see the patent holder pulls fast ones in desperation to keep that patent from expiring at which time the drug has been known to decrease 50 TIMES overnight. Wellbutrin had to shuffle. The SR version could no longer be protected from patent protection so they really go out on a limb and sell XR as a brand.
This designer molecule has somehow been developed, at least for this body something that, amongst whatever good may come of its use, specifically makes sleep almost impossible. All the others mentioned are much more powerful in their CNS effects but none: even a still sold but probably not the answer to weight loss diethyPROPION does not hold a candle to the effect on sleep as buPROPION. I am dumping the stuff which WAS being taken as a trial alternate to dextroamphetamine (for the sole reason by the way that I would entertain switching from something that is safer (time), cheaper, and supremely efficacious, is because it is a Schedule ll drug meaning that a new Rx must be obtained as a physical document (nation-wide not permitted to be refilled nor ordered by telephone: MD to Pharmacy). I am 48 and I am certain, pending more revealing info on the disorder that being a life long incurable but symptomatically treated condition, I am looking at an enormous amount of time and money spent over the next 30-50 years- however long I last.
