Levoxyl is an evil drug. I went off on my own against doctors orders and found a doctor to prescribe the leading brand of natural hormone. After 6 months on Levoxyl, I had heartrate of 120 at rest. Nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, weight loss. I suffered on this stuff for 6 months because my "labs were in normal ranges". I took myself off, and within 9 days my heartrate had dropped to 84. No more nausea, bowels were fine. Found a new doc quick. I was only on .05 Will the docs tell the FDA about my side effects? Probably not, its their wonder drug...and they make plenty of $$ for prescribing it. They tried to convince me that synthetic hormones have no side effects. You could hold me down with a gun to my head and I would never ever take any brand of synthetic T4 again.

I have been on Levoxyl for 2 years. At first I lost weight, but then I started gaining and bloating like crazy. My doctor upped my does to 75 mg and that has made my hair fall out like crazy. I have bald spots on top. I am going to take myself off against my doctors orders. This is a horrible drug and should be taken off the market. Does anyone have any suggestions. If I do not take anything, I gain weight like crazy and am very tired. Please help. Send emails to bcioma@peoplepc.com Thanks.
