Someone PLEASE help or offer assistance! I have been on 50mcg Sy...

hello
ive been on this medicine for 3 weeks (but the 75mcg) and ive lost 5lbs. I had the hardest time losing weight but now Im doing good.

Do you have hypo or hyper thyroidism?

Go to your doctor and ask him/her to put you on Armour thyroid. The last few months that I took synthroid I was a mess. I was so irritable, stayed hot all the time, could cry at the drop of a pen, no energy, had a mental tag that no matter how hard I tried I could not lose weight. I am on Armour now and I feel 100% better. If your doctor will not change you over, then fire him/her and go to someone else.

I still do not understand why so many people gain weight on synthroid. and it seems the professionals have nothing to say about it. I have been on synthroid for years and so have many of my friends and we all struggle with our wieght since starting sy. I would try to find an alternative md, which offer a holistic view, when general mds/and edoncrincologists seem to have tunnel vision. take care and keep on with regular exercise.
