I have been switched three times since Dec. 07 (only April 6 '08) to different doses of Synthroid.

I have not taken it before. You will not get better, if anything worse. Keep pressing the situation and find a doctor that will listen. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29218?item=6869 Tue, 13 May 2008 14:24:02 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29218?item=8232 YOU WILL DIE. If you have no thyroid, you MUST take thyroid medication. It is not an option. Call your doctor immediately. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29218?item=8232 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:38:54 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/29218?item=9683 My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimotos at the age of 5.
