I'm 26 and was diagnosed with HYPOTHYROIDISM in Oct 2005. I was put on LEVOTHYROXINE. At firt I felt sick to my stomach, and then started having really bad head akes. My MD lowered my dose and I felt like a new person. Had more energy than my 4 year old. I have had some site effects such as HEART PALPITATIONS, MILD DEPRESSION, UNABLE TO CONCENTRATE, FATIGUE AND SPACED OUT FEELINGS! But the one site effect that I have not seen anyone talk about is "RINGING OF THE EARS!!!!!!" PLEASE IF ANY ONE IS HAVE THE RINGING OF THE EARS...LET ME KNOW, IT IS DRIVING MY @&*!%#^ CRAZY. My MD says its ANXIETY! Give me a break pal, I know my body good enough to know when im NOT anxious. Also my sex drive is flat lined. Please email me if you have these same site effects.. Bless you all Lowi~ Washington

I also have 24-7 ear buzzing, sometimes sounds like a tea kettle.I have been hypo for years. Synthroid made my hair shed continuously. After years I started investigating and changed to armour. My hair is much better.BUT, when the doc switched me she let me go too long on too low a dosage. I got really sick and had what I call a crash. My tsh went from .07 to 15. Sometime before I had it checked and found out it was so high the ringing and pressure started in my ears. My doctor gave me prednisone and said if it didn't work I would have to go to a specialist. The specialist said I have tinnitis-bye. I researched and found it very well could be coming from my thyroid problems. The last doctor I went to said that it took a long time for the brain tissues to drain of stuff I need. And it will take a long time for it to get back. After raising my armour my other symptoms cleared up pretty fast but this maddening buzzing has been going on for 4 months. dlowe NC

I am 24 and was diagnosed 2 years ago as borderline hypo. Started out on 25mcg Levothyroxine. Felt good then about a year and a half later doc doubled the dosage. Six weeks after doubled dose I got extremely ill. Woke up nauseated and shaky. I eventually ended up in the hospital with severe heart palpitations, nausea, diarrea, shakes, aches in legs, etc etc. Come to find out I should have never been on meds. Be careful!
