i started taking synthroid about 9 weeks ago. 25mcg a day in morning. I am subclinical and had all kinds of symptoms such as unable to sleep, weight gain, tired all the time, loss libido, heavy menstruation, cold all the time and many more. I was taking a natural product and stopped when my endo prescribed synthroid. I have not felt good since. I was extremely tired and lost alot of my allready thin hair that i had left. My skin got even dryer than before. The only improvement i have noticed was my libido seems a little better and my menstruation was not as heavy. I still have no energy and believe that synthroid is not a drug of choice if we all had one. | 41 | Female | 11/03 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sertraline - When dose increased from 100mg to 150mg, really vivid dreams started. Thank God not nightmares, but still really weird. Remember a dream every morning.
Levothyroxine - When dose increased from 50mg to 100mg, chest pains started. Very worrying at first but pain has decreased. Lost my appetite almost immediately. I don't know whether the tiredness is due to the lack of sleep, loss of appetite, or just the medication. Tiredness is very slowly decreasing (but i still need to nap for 2 hours every day). When first started taking 100mg didn't have any problems sleeping. In fact, it was excessive (but I was still knackered). Now it takes me hours to fall asleep at night but I'm still tired. Over the past few days I've been feeling sick as I (wait to) fall asleep. I also get bad pain in my feet and legs, like sharp throbbing, as I lay in bed. Headache is always at the front above left eye. I feel so shakey all the time. My legs feel like jello sometimes. I need to hold onto the hand rail when I walk down stairs as I feel so unstable. 2bh I didn't experience any hypothyroidism 'problems' prior to being diagnosed (I had goitre, but it was pointed out to me by my Doctor [I didn't notice it myself]). Since taking the Levo I feel 100, make that 1000, times worse. The Sertraline is generally ok. Everyone says they wish they remembered their dreams, I did at 1 time, but now they're kinda annoying! |

Started having back pain after being on lipitor for a number of years. I would cut back or slowly stop the lipitor. Soon as I would try it again the back pain returns. The blood work does not show a problem. | 63 | Female | 10/18 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The swelling and itching for a week and a half has driven me crazy. Anti itch medication has not helped nor did Benadryl. Topical creams did nothing. Nights have been a misery. Getting to sleep or waking up with itching and not being able to get back to sleep has made each night and day unbearable. I swelled up in a matter of hours and have been very uncomfortable carrying around an extra 5 to 6 pounds of fluid. I do have chronic kidney disease and at first thought it was my kidneys backing up. My nephrologist didn't think that my itching and swelling had anything to do with my kidney problem. All my tests, including a CT scan came out normal. It came down to the niacin which I newly added to my vitamin supplement regimen because of my family caused high cholesterol. (My cardiologist approved my taking the new supplement.) I continue to have the itching and I don't seem to find any relief with the passage of time. I just wonder how much longer it will go on. | 66 | Female | 10/15 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
