I only took Levoxyl for 2 1/2 months recently. I had strange sensations in my ankles, feet and hands plus a frequent pounding, rapid pulse. My hair fell out and is quite thin. My doctor insisted I remain on it. I logged on to www.safetyalerts.com today and was shocked to find that for many of the past few months, various dosages of Levoxyl has been recalled for contamination with an animal drug plus some other chemical. I refused to continue with the Levoxyl a month ago and sucessfully prevailed upon a new doctor to prescribe Armour Thyroid. I have been entirely side effct free and do feel so much better! It's too bad that patients have to be their own protectors of their health when doctors should be better informed!
