Levoxyl and liver

I do not have side affects that I know of (50 mcg/day). If I did I would take my self off of it gradually and do the natural health side of treating my thyriod problem. I am now gradually getting off of my Levoxyl and taking several herbal supplements which the doctor confirmed are working better than Levoxyl. I encourage you all to try that...side effects are not good. When you have side effects they are generally treated with another medication. Who wants to take more meds? They are so bad on your liver!

After reading a number of the letters posted I feel so connected with you all, my heart goes out to you all because I too am on Levoxyl.. I have experienced practically every symptom that I have read and it is not in your head even though the doctors may not know what the problem is they will just treat it with other drugs instead of just changing your medication. I had my thyroids removed 5 years ago and still having problems every time I go to the doctor they are changing my medication. I too have been on different antidepressions and am having problems with my joints and swelling. My sister noticed my skin darkening and I was told that my liver was not good. I know there is so much going on that I still have not addressed but it cause money to go to the doctors and that is a problem but to all of you keep the faith and remember no one knows how you feel but you.

Can this drug destroy the liver or colon. I was on snythroid for 10 years now my doctor put me on Levoxyl. I have been taking this medication for a year now. Now I have blood in my stools, or can this be another problem, or did it destroy my liver. I also have had cramps in my stomach for a week now, for every day. Should I seek a physican.
