YOUR PCP should be referring you to a Endocrinologist. PCP's are not specialized on dosage amount.

Since I switched to this oblong violet tablet due to change of manufacture and a different dye according to my pharmacist, I have been having bitter taste and burning sensation in my mouth and lips. Tired a lot more, poor appetite and losing weight. Very low energy and moody and anxiety are new things. I�¢����ve tried chewing sugar free gums, good oral hygiene everyday and pushing lots of water, doing self stress management at home daily but it has not done any good except for taking Benadryl which makes me sleepy but I had to because it makes me not having those awful bitter tastes and moods. My doc put me on this 50 mg synthroid white round pill until I get a new prescription and all the above reactions went away. So I started on this new prescription and round violet pill and guess what, the same problem is coming back. I think whatever dye or ingredients they have in these violet pills may have something to do with it.

I have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid which I had suspected for over 5-6 years but was told no. I had always been a size 8-10 even after 5 children in my 30s. Iâ??m now 44 I have been using this medicine for 3 months and I feel like I have put on weight even more. I am not sleeping properly no energy and have aches top of legs. I am short of breath and irritable anxious and depressed. Looking for an alternative to medication. I have read it is bad to just stop it though I am currently on 75mg but I have heard it takes up to a year to get the dosage right.

My TSH went down to 0.3 after one month and caused raging anxiety. Decreased to 12.5mcg daily and am still having horrible anxiety and increased heart rate. I know it works, as it lowered my TSH and increased my T3 and T3, but I can't handle the side effects. The anxiety interrupts my sleep and makes me irritable.
