175 mcg Synthroid, post Total Thyroidectomy due to bilateral papillary thyroid cancer. Increased appetite and increased bowel activity have been noted as well as a weight gain....even though my level of medication would normally be categorized as hyperthyroid(low TSH is indicated for post cancer treatment) recent tests have indicated elevated blood sugar as well("pre diabetes") some times I wonder if I shouldn't have just risked the cancer.....
I stopped taking synthroid becuase of the side effects. It was a huge mistake to go years without treatment, but when my dose went to 175 I gained so much weight! about 50 lbs in a few months. Horrible.
I have now started on Amour Thyroid, and I feel better, its natural so its supposed to be better. I haven't lost any wieght yet, but I feel better and after the first week none of that anxiety I felt while on Synthroid.
