Lev More

For the past two years my TSH levels have ranged form 9.8 to 4.9 and the dr. did not want to put me on a lifetime medication. I went to a new doctor a week ago, and he did an ultrasound and going back in today to do a biopsy. I started taking levo 50 mcg's. It's been a week and feel more tired. I'm very worried about the results. ## Hello, Connie! How are you doing? The tiredness and fatigue can be normal side effects of this medication, but they typically improve with time, as your body gets used to it. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience dizziness, headache, hair loss and weight changes. When do you get the biopsy results?

I had a high normal level, my Nephrology she did not tell this. It was on some of the medical papers that she gave me what does that mean. ## Hi Pauline, From what I understand, nephrology deals with kidney function and the treatment of various kidney problems. However you weren't really clear at all on what specific "levels" you might've been referring to? So I'm naturally a bit confused on how to even begin addressing your questions & concerns regarding this. Would you please take some time to post back with more information on what it really is that you're describing as "high normal levels" in 'something'? Thanks! ## I am sorry I take Pot Cl Micro 20mg. I was trying to find find did that have anything to do with it. ## Thanks for posting ba...

Am in a quandary. A friend has asked me to get him Levocal, which Im in the process of doing. He already takes half a pill (.5 of 250 mg) a day, but wants more. He has Parkinsons. Am totally unaware if he has thyroid problems. I just dont want to risk doing him any harm. Any suggestions? Opinions? (Taking a whole pill is out of the question for administrative reasons I wont go into). No spam, please. I never read it.

antipressant ## side effects of LEVAPRO ## Did you mean to ask about Lexapro? Lexapro is an antidepressant that contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant that is also used to treat generalized anxiety disorder. Side effects to this class of medications may include: nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? There are more Lexapro details available here for anyone needing more information.

## please send info on lavocor asap--side effects--mood swings--negativity ## I'm curious as to whether or not this person was actually meaning to ask about Lipitor, which contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin? Or possibly Mevacor, which contains Lovastatin? The name clearly leads me to believe they meant some type of statin medication, these are usually the first choice for lowering cholesterol. Thus, I'm going to include the link to Statin details , so if they'd return, or if someone else is unsure of the name, they can learn more and possibly see which is the correct one. ## My daughter has been taking this drug for 10 days. She is in so much pain, she needs assistance to get out if bed, get off the couch,her knees r sswollen, hurts to bend her elbows, can't mak...
