Levoxyl Withdrawal
Posted over a year ago
Please Can anyone tell me what they went through from withdrawal from this medication? and anything that helped it go away? and How long did the "detox" from Levoxyl last?
Belgia - I take Levoxyl. I had Hoshimotos and Graves at the same time. Eventually, I had my thyroid surgically removed. Without the Levoxyl, I cannot see. My eyes puff over and under. Tear ducts clog. I freeze, am very disoriented and very tired. The Hoshimotos and Graves symptoms return. I learned the hard way.... you cannot do without your medication treatment. It is a toxic combination and also can shut down kidney and liver functioning. Coma is the extreme. I urge everyone to work with their doctors to find the correct combination of dosage and solution. If you do not agree, see another doctor. It can take some time after treatment to get the correct medication and dosage. Get second opinions. DO NOT stop taking your meds unless advised by a medical professional. It can be lethal and a slow painful death. Another note: the pharmacy gave me a generic and I did not pay attention. I learned it is not the same compound as regular Levoxyl so do not be conned into taking generics. The compound differences can throw you off and create even worse symptoms. I got very ill on the generic.
