I have been taking the thyroid replacement hormone Synthroid for 20 plus years and have experienced no side effects. Give it a try. I hope you will feel better with this medication.
You really need to look into desiccated thyroid. One brand name is Armour. It's SO much better than Levoxyl or Synthroid or any of the other T4-only medications. Doctors know little about it, yet it's been around a long time. There's a huge patient movement towards it around the world. Google "Stop the Thyroid Madness" and read it. They also recommend certain patient groups. It changed my life and I'll bet it will yours, too. I also got the book by the same name and it's wonderful.
