I have taken this Levothyroxine ever since I got Thyroid Cancer in 2006. And thank God I am free from cancer now. My main problem now is that, sometime I really don't know what was wrong with me and get confused over my own feeling. I do have cramps, sleep problem, headache, menstruation problem, mood swing, panic attack and always thinking of a negative thing eg like am I going to die. It has been bothering me since than. Please help I just wanna know is this really due to the medication or its really that I am going to die. I am very confused at times when feeling this side effect. =(

I have been taking synthroid or levothyroxine most of my life now and have not had any problems.

hi
you are not going to die.I feel like that too. i think it the medication. i get like that where i do not want to get out bed. i feel like that something is wrong with me too. I have been on medication for about 15 years. The more time you on this medication thing start to change. Some times i feel i can not breath just walk to my car.

My understanding is that the medication does not have any side affects, its a synthetic hormone that your body naturally produces. The only way it can have side effects is if your over medicated. The thyroid disease can cause all of different problems. One of them is depression. That can make you have the thoughts of feeling like somethings wrong and like your going to die. The thyroid can also cause anxiety attacks. I hope this helps . Maybe your doctor needs to adjust your dosage.
