I have been talking Levoxyl for years. I had my whole thyroid removed in 99 with a precancerous nodule. For years I have had trouble with concentration -- always feeling kind of "out of it," "zombie -like," but just since about September I have felt very bad. I have noticed this bad feeling begins bout an hour or so after I take my med. I began in Sept on 88 mcg, then went to 100mcg, then to 112, and then to 125. I cut myself back to 112 because with 125 I was so so so tired, and cried with strange anxiety every day. Since cutting back to 112, I don't feel a lot better. During the day I feel to tired to do anything, and I have lost my interest, personality, and sense-of-humor. But, on days when I completely skip my med. I feel soo good, but I can't do that two days in a row b/c then I feel worse. Also, at my last dentist visit, I had 3 cavities and I brush my teeth twice a day, every day. I have another apt. tomorrow (with my specialist). I hope he can fix me. I have suggested Armour and Cytomel many times, but he always says "this is rare that anyone needs to take these" I hate feeling this way. I want to feel like everyone else so bad, I just feel like I never will. It is very debilitating. I have recently graduated from college and I feel like an old woman -- too tired and bad to go after my career goals. Write back anyone that feels this way too.
