Eltroxin and medication

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 have been using Eltroxin 0.05mg for 8 days and feeling worse then before. What is the purpose? This medication should be banned. But what alternative is there for under active thyroid?

I started Eltroxin/Levothyroxin a month ago. I was warned about side effects to my eyes which started watering and stinging then my nose started to drip. Suddenly I crashed into depression and am having trouble stabilizing this so everyday I feel unwell. I am also having hot flushing at 68years of age! I haven't the energy to do much.

Have found that the brand Goldshield made in Britian has few side effects so will be paying for these rather than be miserable all the time

I have been taken Eltroxin 0.075mg each day since two years ago; I feel even now extremly tired....sometimes start feeling tired just when I get up....I lost quite a bit of hair after medication & look very different.

I don't know whether those are side effects or what else but just feel helpness for these years.
