Comment from: Lord Help Me 55-64 Female 2 to less than 5 years Patient Published: December 12

I'm 55yo male been on Levothyroxine for 3 years and still get hot flashes and sweating. Tired excessively once a week but not sure if its the meds I'm taking that's causing the tiredness or just age. Not really sure I see a difference on it or off it but until it causes major side effects I will continue it. On 0.1mg and now with a cholesterol medicine I've started we will see. If I get tired more than no more Cholesterol meds. Cholesterol at 200 without meds but that was before I did the diet I'm on now and in two more months we will see how good the diet is working. 1 lb a week is good

It was the best Thyroid Medication I've ever taken with no side effects! I felt energetic and healthy all the years I was taking it. Then all of a sudden my Pharmacy said it was taken off the market and I've been ill ever since. How can I get this medication again? I have tried other Thyroid Meds and they make me feel sick and bloated and weak all the time!

My doctor has not monitored my meds since she put me on it in 2008. Since then I HAVE major mood swings, suffer from depression, gained 30 pounds, my seborrheic dermatitis has gotten worse, and I have zero energy. Either I need a new doctor or a better medication. I also suffer from high cholesterol and chronic kidney disease.
