Hypothyroidism anyone dealing with it
I just got diagnosed with this crap and will have to be on a pill for life. ****ing lovely.

anyone else dealing with it? Did you notice a big difference after you started treating it?

EDIT 2017

Has anyone just quit using this medication? AFter 3 years and getting hit with a dosage increase each year, I'm gaining more weight than ever and I'm even more tired. All this since starting the med. Of course, my doctors answer is always "increase the dose" but I'm tired of discussing it with him. I need to find some new options.

As with several others, I have been on Synthroid for a few years now. I don't even really notice it much if I miss a couple of days but then when I do start back up I REALLY notice it. Much more energy, better mood.

My co-pay is only $10 a month which is not bad. I agree though that it is a bummer to think that this will be for the rest of my life. Ah well, my mom takes something like 9 pills every morning and 7 every night. Of course several of those are during her recovery from a heart attack/open heart surgery so those will eventually go away.

8 AM every day. Just before you go to bed during the work week and when you get up on your weekend.

meh. Its the empty stomach thing that gets me. I can't go to bed empty or I'll wake up early with my stomach screaming for food.


I'll just have to do with 4:30pm and hope I never forget it on the weekends.

I have to echo the sentiments of others here. I have been on Synthroid .001 tablet each day for the last 15 or so years. My blood work always comes back "normal" so I keep taking it.

I truly can't tell where it does anything in particular - but apparently it does.

I'm the opposite with hyper. The worst part is the anxiety that goes with that. But then I can also drop 10 pounds in 1 week.

Levothyroxine is the most prescribed drug in the United States. You have slow and incremental dose increases like that because it is a narrow therapeutic index drug with a very small margin of efficacy and safety and it can take a very long time to get your dosage dialed in.

When was the last time you met with an endocrinologist and had labs drawn?
