Hashimoto S Thyroiditis

THYROID MED ## I am taking a thyroid supplement known as Triiodo-L thyronine SOD and I wanted to know if anyone has used this supplement as well and if so, what effect it had on their energy levels and also if there are any side effects. Thank you! ## Yes, I take this medication now & have been in it for about 2 or 3 years. I have a dead thyroid (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) & do take Synthroid also. But this medinine that you are asking about has helped me keep my weight off & has given me more energy. I was on a higher dosage which made me shaky & lose too much weight so I asked the Doctor to lower the dosage. I guess I will stay on this forever! ## Thank you for that information, Toni! Best wishes to you!

List of all ingredients in 50 mcg white tablet ## Levoxyl contains the active ingredient Levothyroxine, which is a thyroid hormone. There are actually at least a few different 50 mcg white tablets, so I'm only going to post the inactive ingredients of one of them, so you can get an idea of what else they put in their. Inactive Ingredients: butylated hydroxyanisole silicon dioxide crospovidone magnesium stearate mannitol microcrystalline cellulose povidone sodium lauryl sulfate sucrose I hope this helps to answer your question! ## In the name brand Levoxyl, aside from the Levothyroxine active ingredient, the inactive ingredients are listed as: Microcystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium and magnesium stearate. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hashimotos thyroiditis pat...

I've just been prescribed Levothyroxine 75mcg. I've been reading all the horrible reviews and am afraid to take it. I didn't have any symptoms of hypothyroidism except being overweight. I went to the dr for something totally different. I was overdue for routine blood work. Came back as this: TSH was 75.320, T4 free below normal 0.49, antibody 2250, T3 normal. I'm getting a biopsy on a nodule on Monday. Dr wants me to start on 75mcg Levothyroxine. I went the internet and have read horror stories. I don't have any symptoms of hashimotos thyroiditis (my diagnosis). In fact my symptoms mimic hyper insomnia, caffeine sensitive. I work 3rd shift. I've read the best time to take it is at night before bed. My pharmacist says in AM 30min before other meds. Neither of thes...

Hashimotos thyroiditis patients beware of the fillers and Crospovidone/Povidones in your thyroid medications! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis over 20 years ago and I took Levoxy that whole time and did great on that brand of medication. Levoxyl was taken off the market as everyone knows back in 2013 and that was the start of my throid hell! I was switched to Levothyroxine by Lannett- Walgreens brand. I had a very bad allergic reaction due to the iodine and acacia in the pill. Then I switched to levothyroxine by mylan- Target Store brand and I had another bad allergic reaction due to the Crospovidone and Povidones (non organic iodine) in the pill. Finally I discovered Levoxy is back on the market again so I rushed out to change my medicine back to levoxyl. Come to find out so...

taking repinirole for 1 yr. I have severe weight loss. does anyone else have this side effect. I also have hashimoto thyroiditis that has seemed to have gotten better. I would like to start on lyrica, for rls. ## While it isn't common, weight loss is a known rare side effect of taking Ropinirole. Learn more Ropinirole details here. Lyrica, however, usually causes weight gain, so it could actually end up helping. Learn more Lyrica details here. How much weight did you lose? ## I have lost 20 lbs. since 7/12. ropinirole is the only prescription i am on. my dr. refuses to believe it's the ropinirole for rls.
