I had a complete thyroidectomy 28 yrs ago and have been on synthroid 1 mg ever since. I am now 73 yrs old. I have not had any problems, I though , but looking back maybe the depression and panic attacks are from taking synthroid. I also take Zoloft a - 44% more...

I am going crazy taking Synthroid. I was put on Levothyroxin in March of 2012 and I kept telling my doc I could not take it any more so she sent me to an Endocrinologist in July and he made sure I got the name brand Sythroid... after about 2-3 weeks - 60% more...

First off, blood tests are a waste of time, if the lab finds your TSH is OK then they don't do any more tests! You should always go with your SYMPTOMS not your blood tests, after all what may be the right levels for you could be very different from t - 66% more...

If someone finds a good doctor that understands this medication we'd all be better off. My doctor scared me into taking it, saying that untreated, hypothyroidism will start damaging vital organs. So now I have to cope with severe fatigue, low motivat - 48% more... -
My Heart Rate Spikes on Synthroid
Over the past 8 months I have noticed abnormal shortness of breath and 'spiking' heart rate while exerting myself or exercising. I was on dessicated thyroid for Hashimoto's and moved over to Synthroid 100mcg. I have logged my exercise tolerance daily - 79% more... -
Forgot to add that normal resting pulse is around 55-60. Also, reason I increased synthroid from 100mcg to 125 was that my FT3 was lower than the midpoint, and wanted to try and raise it, as I still have most of the symptoms of being hypo. However in - 43% more...

Anxiety, more hot flashes.
