Levothyroxine 50mg

26 Topics Found

im on 50mg of levotyroxine still feel like crap, still heavy, will it all change ## How long have you been taking it? Most medications require 4 to 6 weeks to reach their full effectiveness in the body and not all of them work for everyone that tries them, thus there is really no way to say whether or not this will change for you. You can usually tell, when you've hit this point, because that is also when any side effects you're experiencing will be most severe, such as nausea, drowsiness and dizziness, then they will start to taper off in severity. Have you consulted your doctor?

Thnx ## With your symptoms, you sound like you may be suffering hyperparathyroidism. You should get a calcium level along with a PTH level. Have you had surgery to remove one or more of the parathyroids. You have a total of 4 parathyroids and one or more could have turned into benign tumors (adenomas). If you're still having symptoms then there is still something wrong.

my story when i was diagn with hypothyriod with family dr and was given 50 mg but after still under i was taking 75mg , refer dr put me back on 50 mg and now i got new direction while still using 50mg by 3 days*75mg = 25+50mg n 50mg for 4dy ## Hello, Banana! How are you doing? If they are taking blood samples regularly to check your thyroid levels, it is completely normal for your doctor to adjust the dosage accordingly. There isn't one set dosage that you can be given, since the hormone levels fluctuate, the medication dosage must be changed to compensate. Is there anything else I can help with?

My dosage was just changed from 50mg. every other day 75mg every other day. My new dosage is 75mg everyday now. Since I started my dosage change I have been getting a rash every 2 or 3 days. It itch's very bad. Has anyone else had this problem? ## The skin rash is listed as one of the less common, but more severe side effects requiring medical attention, so you should consult your doctor immediately. Here's the monograph listing with more info: Levo Info Click Here ## my dosage has been increased from 50 MCG to 75 MCG since this summer. I had the same problems with you. ## You may be sensitive to the coloring used in 75mcg Levothyroxine, which is Tartrazine. Syntroid 50mcg has no coloring.

I have been taking this product for a number of years, and the past 2 years I have extreme bouts of total body itching(like chiggers), but you see nothing!! The only thing that helps is turning a fan on high over the body or if cold outside then go outside. I have noticed the past month or so with increased resistance training(weights) or the treadmill it is getting a lot more frequent. Gotten to the point I don't know what I can do without triggering it. I also take losartan 50mg, diltiazem 240mg, motrin 600mg,Isosorbide Mononitrate 30mg, and numerous COPD inhalers., and now I'm oxygen dependent for seem like anything other than sitting. ## Have you consulted your doctor about this problem? There are several possible causes here. One could be a circulation issue caused by the b...

I've been on Levothyroxine for a couple years now but just recently have been feeling very, very numb after I take it. This feeling lasts practically until the next day. It's almost as if the ingredients have changed in the drug. I feel really weird in the head too. Before I would take it, I wouldn't feel half this bad. Anyone else feel like this? ## yes! althought i have only been taking it for 3 months, since i have started a new pack of the drug i have had heart palpatations and severe headaches and was admitted to hospital last night. what is going on?? ## Hello, I have been on levothyroxin since march of this year. Was on 50mg and had an increase to 75mg in july. A month later i started having stretches where i had headaches. First was 2 weeks of headaches then a stretc...

HI, I'm taking amitriptyline for interstitial cystitis and have recently been diagnised with under active thyroid so am on Levothyroxine 50mg per night. My bladder is really playing up and I'm wondering if these tablets don't work well together? Has anyone experienced this. I don't know whether I've an infection or just need to increase my amitriptyline because its a flare up. Help please! ## The only interaction listed is that the Levothyroxine can actually make the Amitriptyline work better and some doctors have used it, therapeutically, to do so. All medications can affect people different, though, and this site is not medical professionals to pinpoint your problem. Have you spoken to your doctor about it, yet? ## I also have IC. Be leary of anitdepressants. I tri...

My tsh was a 7 so dr put me on levothyroxine 50mg. I felt great bfore , now i have heart palpatations & trouble sleeping. After hearing other possible side effects, i wonder why am i taking this drug when i used to feel so good. Seems like med is giving me the symptons were trying to avoid later on as tsh level rises ## Hello, Debra! How are you? When is the last time your levels were checked? It is normal to have side effects, for awhile, while your body is getting used to the medication, but they should improve with time. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and hair loss. Even though you felt good, before, doesn't mean that it would have continued. With elevated TSH, symptoms could have hit at any time and made you miserab...

Hi, I've taken Nitrofur-Macr 100mg and did ok with it. I recently had to start taking Levothyroxine 50mg for a thyroid condition. And now when I take Nitrofur-Macr I break out all over my neck, ears, back & arms in a horrible rash that burns almost. Is this a normal side effect? Or is it because of the combination of the two medications? I've never had a reaction like this to any medication. ## Hi, Susan! Sorry about the rash that you're getting. It sounds like you may have started experiencing an allergic reaction and, if that is the case, they tend to continue getting more severe if the medication isn't stopped.

I was initially diagnosed with an under active thyroid and prescribed 25 mg tlevothyroxine, after sleeping most of the day and night it was eventually increased to 100mg.. 3 months ago I developed severe insomnia, different levels of consciousness making walking difficult, muscle weakness, severe heat and cold intolerance, rapid weight gain severe constipation and other symptoms also. Things came to a head 3 weeks ago and I stopped taking the drug altogether/ In the first week my strength came back in my muscles, I began to sleep again and my consciousness was much heightened. But then I slowly went downhill. On day 13 my voice almost disappeared, my neck muscles had tightened making swallowing very difficult and walking was very bad. I took half a tablet and now are managing on 50mg an...

it was supposed to be a white pill, levothyroxine 50 mcg. however I received green oblong pill with 9 and 3 on one side and 7 3 6 5 on the other side. the size is also bigger than the white pill I took for years ## What is it an oblong green pill with a 7 3 6 5 on one side and a 9 3 on the other side? ## The tablet with the 93 7365 marking contains 50mgs of Losartan, which is used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions.

Been on Levothyroxine 3 months at 50mg. My levels showed 35...is this high? I don't feel any better and often feel worse. Are the mood swings of sudden extreme anger and crying all a symptom of Hypothyroidism? The moods are so bad. I did try antidepressants but they made no difference and often made me feel worse. Now I have good days and bad days. Do I need an increase in Levothyroxine? ## More than likely you do need an increase in dose but only a Dr via TSH test can tell you for sure as taking more without a Dr prescription can lead to very serious health issues ## Thank you for your response. I returned to the doctors who said my levels had returned to normal after being on 50 mg of thyroid treatment for 3 months, Originally when I was diagnosed they were at 35. However I feel a...

I have been on 50 mcg of levothyroxine for 5 months and I have gained 15 pounds. My doctor tells me that it should be the opposite and that I should loose weight. Is this possible? Have any of you taking this drug has experienced the same? ## I was on 50mg for about 2 weeks and noticed I had gained 10 pounds. So I stopped taking it and gained another 15lbs. now my test showed me to be 5.9 and my new doctor put me on 15mg. She said this will help me loose weight that the 50mg wasn't strong enough to help me not gain the weight. ## I have gained 15 pounds on synthroid. It made me edgy and caused gastrointestinal problems. ## I also was on Levothyroxine 50 for a few months and gained 10 pounds and had severe constipation. My doctor told me not diet and take Metamucil. I felt sure it wa...

What dosage of Levothyroxine is a green oblong pill with 9 and 3 on one side, and 7 3 6 5 on the other side? ## This is not a Levothyroxine tablet, if that is what you were supposed to receive, you've been given the wrong medication. The tablet with the 93 7365 marking contains 50mgs of Losartan, which is an ARB that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions.

It's a very good thing that you noticed. A green, oblong tablet with 93 on one side and 7365 on the other is a 50mg Losartan tablet. This is an ARB that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Losartan details here. I double checked to be sure, but there aren't any green, oblong Levothyroxine tablets with the 93 imprint on them. I believe your pharmacy made an error. Have you contacted them?

I have always been active, hiking, biking, walking. I am a former smoker though. Quit almost 20 years ago. About a year ago I was diagnosed with having low Thyroid levels and was put on levothyroxine 50mg. A couple of months later after more tests it was concluded that I have Hashimotos. Time frame August 2014-Aug 2015. In Jan 15 I noticed some asthma upon exertion and after talking with my doctor he suggested I carry an inhaler when exercising. I used the inhaler twice and then nothing for a couple of months although I did notice some gradual shortening of breath and headaches. Breathing got worse in April after a severe bout with bronchitis. Went back to Dr and he decided to try me on Armour. Still having shortness of breath but still able to take walks. About a month ago I went to se...

my tsh test report is 56.9 ulU/ml . iam pregnant of 4 months and taking 50mg thyroxin tablets .should i continue intake of tablet or is it harmful to my baby ## I am male of 63 years old I found my TSH 11.6 before 2 months my doctor advised Thyoroxine 25 mg tab for first 30 days then TSH remained 6.68 now i am taking the same tablet of 50 mg. Sir I want to know is it to be continued for many yers or may be discontinued.Thanks ## sarafeen, what has your doctor advised? Levothyroxine is a naturally occurring hormone in the body, so in these doses that usually just replace what your body is missing, it hasn't been known to cause harm to the baby. And Ram, it's really going to depend on how you respond to the current dosage of the medication. Have you talked to your doctor about it?...
