Following my 1st dosages of Eltroxin, my blood tests came back as my still having a very low thyroid. I've been taking it again for 5 weeks and am experiencing very uncomfortable and unusual tremors which last for a few seconds. I am not epileptic so, obviously, I'd like some feedback on this. What's causing these tremors???? Anyone???

Hello, I don't that the medication does not work. Yes, there may be like a few side effects if you are over dosing, like heart palpitations. But the tiredness and fatigue is due to incorrect dosage. The medication levels has to be adjusted each time and can not constant. It is something we can not control. Some months, you need lower doses and others you need to increase the dose. This is why we need to constantly visit a good endrocologist. This can be beaten until we get to the right dose. It's a killer, I know, but all we have is patience and we need to focus on how to start feeling better. So I advise everyone to hang in there. I know it' easier said than done but nobody knows your body better than you. If you think that the meds are not working then go back to your doctor, and if he does not listen then seek a second opinion until you get to the correct dose for you. There will always be a fluctuation in the dosage and only you will know coupled with a blood test. Good luck to us all with the lazy thyroid :)

I use eltroxin 0.1mg every day for two years now and could not understand why I am always tired although I had a good night's sleep. I also became aware that I am very tempered, depressed and can do impulsive things. like buying a bike as example. Recently, almost a month ago I had to visit my GP for a common flu. I also asked him to run a blood test on my thyroid hormones. It became apparent that I have been taking 0.05mg less than what I should have.
Could all my negative experience be because of this? I only started to take the higher doses since today, I am hoping on a better outcome.
