Levothyroxine 200 Mg

I've been taking Levothyroxine 150 mcg (hypothyroidism) for the past ten years. Up until a month and half ago my doctor increased my medication to 2 mg. I'm noticing a high volume of hair loss, does this ever stop? Will the hair loss issue, subside? Very concerned.

Unfortunately, hair loss is a normal side effect of this medication and, while not everyone experiences it, it usually does not subside, most people do experience it as long as they continue to take the medication.

It tends to be a more severe problem at higher dosages, so it may abate if your dosage is lowered in the future, but there is really no way to say with any certainty, since everyone is different.

Have you discussed the issue with your doctor?

It does stop after awhile on it and your body adjusts to the dose. But I've never considered it to be an acceptable side effect. Synthroid does that to me. My hair was literally sliding down my back on Synthroid a number of years back. I ended up going off it then for alot of the side effects. Went on Levothyroxine a few years ago and had it happen again with the hair, but it did stop. But my hair is much thinner than it ever was. I used to have thick hair.
