Re: Synthroid

Hi Bev, might be the generic but is might also be the amount that is in it. I suggest asking doc for a script that says DAW or dispense as written and write synthroid. I am on synthroid and well that hppened to me getting generic. Found that I also needed a smaller doseage. I am still on generic so who knows this.
the anxiety might be due to worrying about this also but if you have the shakiness that can be too much thyroid.
What is the dose and what was your TSH as well as T4 and T7?
check your bp too, that is all into this. do you take it morning and ON an empty tummy? I was told a must to do
let me know,
janers

Doc gave me a Rx for Synthroid which was filled with a generic. I'm not sure if I should just wait through the side effects or call the doc and ask for a new Rx. The printout that comes with it says that side effects tend to subside over time. Within seconds of taking it I get itchy. No rash just an itchiness on the extremities (fingers, toes, nose, ears and scalp) for about an hour, then later on my whole body tends to feel a little itchy. Also it seems my anxiety levels have increased. And I've also had some dizziness. But I feel much better, lots more energy and in general I feel better but...... What the heck is happening?
