I started Eltroxin/Levothyroxin a month ago. I was warned about side effects to my eyes which started watering and stinging then my nose started to drip. Suddenly I crashed into depression and am having trouble stabilizing this so everyday I feel unwell. I am also having hot flushing at 68years of age! I haven't the energy to do much. Have found that the brand Goldshield made in Britian has few side effects so will be paying for these rather than be miserable all the time

I too have been feeling unwell over the past few months and did not understand why I have recently asked my doctor to re assess my meds and do bloods, and yes there is a problem tho not sure what as yet as she changed my dosage for eltroxin , as i was already on anti depression tabs i couldn't understand why i was feeling depressed , get cramps in legs during the night, moody, and hot flushes when i am already on HRT, i went to doctor and said Hrt is not working i want stronger dose, you would have thought they may have said something about changed medication of thyroxin at that time but no i have never been told of change of formulation nor when they replaced original make of thyroxin tab i rang chemist and said they had given me wrong medicine even then nothing was explained... great medical system not!
