I started the generic version of synthroid in July 2011, bec. of an underactive thyroid. B4 starting I had weak nails, hairloss, I was soooo tired, slept alot and did not feel rested after waking up, couldn't focus and was very forgetful, my period was very irregular, etc. After I started on the generic brand, I saw some improvement, but I started having panic attacks and anxiety. I had hair loss already from the under active thyroid, but it got worse. Summer 2012, I started only on Synthroid and I felt like myself again, not extremely tired, I was more calm, my periods became regular again, I could focus and I could remember. I haven't had any other problems that I am aware of. I've always been an allergy-prone person, so headaches and runny nose due to sinusitis is nothing new to me and I don't believe it's the synthroid, as I've seen in some reviews here. I did gain weight, but I also started birth control and my Master's degree at the same time. After I finished my studies in May 2013, I lost some weight and it has been under control, nothing extreme. When I exercise and eat better, I am able to lose weight normally. I also had some nodules on my thyroid since they first checked it out in 2011 and this year they finally shrunk; I have been taking Kelp everyday along with the Synthroid since 2013, so this might have contributed to it, and lots of prayer.

Been put on for 30 days. Have headaches everyday. Won't be using this again - the problems caused by the drug are bigger than the low thyroid problem.

Started this treatment when I was about 12, i'm currently 16. The only good difference from taking this pill was that it helped me achieved a healthier weight. But, that doesnt justify the fact that since taking this pill I'm constantly tired, have major anxiety, and always in a state of nervousness, which is not something i experienced before this.

But, that doesnt justify the fact that since taking this pill I'm constantly tired, have major anxiety, and always in a state of nervousness, which is not something i experienced before this. Also, it has caused me to have an irregual menstration cycle, as it sometimes will skip three or more months. Forever wishing there was an alternative.

It works for me with no side effects. I started taking the generic Levothyroxine but switched bc it made me tired. Synthroid has improved my energy, hair growth in scalp and eyelashes, easier for me to lose weight/tone and reduced my mental fog. Definitely prefer Synthroid than generic because better results.
