Levoxyl Armour Thyroid, Stomach Problems, Digestive System, Natural Product, Levoxyl
Posted over a year ago
I have experienced SEVERE stomach problems taking levoxyl. Since i stopped taking it, my stomach is back to normal. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.I am NOW on ARMOUR THYROID...a natural product and feel NORMAL for the first time in three years. I hope the three years on levoxyl has not caused irrepairable damage to my digestive system!!
Portsj - I have stomach problems too. I have constipation and gas that I cannot control sometimes. Also, I have experienced bloating. I have not had frequent constipation prior to taking Levoxyl. I am not sure if it is due to Levoxyl. Hope this helps.
Bahiabegonia - I just took .025 mg of Levoxyl for 10 days. It was a nightmare. Rapid pulse, extreme anxiety (and really tight back muscles to go with that), the hot feeling on the inside of your skin, HUGE amounts of bile and acid. Even with prilosec and maalox I could still feel burning in my stomach. Colon, abdominal pain. Needless to say, sleeping wasn't really in the cards. Unable to focus or function on much of any level. As it leaves my system, some cramping and diarrhea. At this point, I consider that the good news!
Bahiabegonia - I just took .025 my Levoxyl for 10 days. It was a nightmare. Extreme anxiety (and tight back muscles and lack of sleep as a result), rapid pulse, hot - as others have described...like the inside of your skin is hot, MASSIVE amounts of bile and acid. Even with Prilosec and Maalox, I could feel the burning in my stomach. Colon and abdominal pain. I could not function on much of any level. I consider the cramping and diarrhea the good news that it's slowly leaving my system. But since the 1/2 life of this drug is 6-7 days, looks like abit longer til I'm OK again.
