After a few months on Synthroid, I hadn't noticed any improvement & Doc said (and continues to say) give it time...it will improve. It's now 9+ years...and still waiting for improvement...and looking for new Doc.

I've only been on this for a few weeks, but I definitely noticed a difference in what my symptoms were that made go and get my thyroid checked. Hopefully as my body adjusts I'll start to feel better overall
