My medication dosage got upped from 88mcg to 100mcg about a month ago and I stopped taking birth control about 2 months ago.
I'm trying to find other reasons for a missed period before settling on that I could be pregnant.
Thanks.View Thread

I did end up getting my period about 2 weeks late.View Thread

I visibly have no symptoms.
The worst symptom I had/have is depression; I did gain weight, I just didn't know at the time because it was only 10lbs and did realize I had gained until I lost it from the Synthroid.
This year it's been feeling like something is off and so I went to the doctor and he put me from 75mcg to 88mcg, but now I feel again that it's not enough.
-I'm tired all the time
-my mood changed all the time it's affecting my relationship
-at the beginning of the year I was full on into exercising and within the last 3 months it's diminished
- lost interest in sex
-I've gained almost 10lbs in 2 months.
This time is a bit more serious, but when my blood test results come back they say normal and so I'm stuck feeling horrible.
I do have a question that I've asked my doctor and he answered no.
Would birth control affect my medication?
I take Alesse and every time I end my period my symptoms seem worse, to the point that I've contemplated breaking up a 2 year relationship and quitting my job.
I made a doctor's appointment for next week and I'm bringing in a list of my symptoms this time!
Does your medication bottle say Synthroid 88mcg tab and underneath it Levothryoxine sodium tab 88mcg?
I'm almost positive they used to only say Levothyroxine.View Thread
