Has anyone been on the thyroid medicine called Levothyroxine? Pls no home remedy or site referral answers.?
-
I have been on this medicine for almost a month now for hypothyroid. I have several nodules that are growing. Since I have been on this medicine I have gained about 7 pounds and retain water bad. My legs and ankles and stomach are the worst with my feet and ankles swelling so bad they get red and throb. I have had a lot more energy though. I have had very bad period cramps but it seems to be lighter. The Dr is sending me back to the endocrinologist. I'm not overweight but if my weight gain continues like this with me exercising more and eating the same as I did before I don't know if I want to stay on this medicine. My family says I just need to have the nodules removed to feel better because this runs in my family. A long time ago I had hypothyroid and took Armour thyroid and didn't have these side effects? My level actually improved and I was taken off which is very odd.

Answer:
I'm on it and haven't had any side effects. If I were you I would switch back to Armour because it has the T3 component that Levothyroxine doesn't have.
