Must know Levothyroxine side effects| Natural Alternatives to Levothyroxine

Levothyroxine is a medication commonly used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This medication replaces or provides more thyroid hormones, which are necessary for normal growth and metabolism. Although levothyroxine is generally well-tolerated, it can cause certain side effects including stomach issues, hair loss, heart palpitations, tremors and more.
In this video, Dr. Anshul Gupts talks about the most common side effects of Levothyroxine. He explores the reasons for it and also provides natural alternatives for Levothyroxine. Please check with your primary care physician before making any changes to your medication.

Thanks for this information, have had just about all of these symptoms and looking into other meds.

[@user-pm4fw9ts5t]

I also have these symptoms. Going to see different Dr. Thank you for being so honest about this drug

[@user-ne6in7ye4w]

I had these symptoms before starting treatment. I'm on levothryroxine for 3 weeks now and most of my symptoms have gotten better.

[@montygates8767]

Becareful. I felt much better at first too. Then it slowly turned worse. Hoping your experience is much better

[@gknight1]

I didn't feel good while taking levothyroxine, so I stopped. It makes no sense to take something if it doesn't make me feel good.

[@latareshamwala7892]

Very well explained ,and did a great job.

Very interesting thank you so much.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2021 June after I went for annual check up of health. My reading of TSH was 85 but I did not have much problems except insomnia. Doctor prescribed me levothyroxine after taking this medication for a month my TSH level was 11 but then my health deteriorate had thinning of hair, heart palpitation, pain in the joints, mouth becoming dry very often the lists go on. When I told doctor about it he did reduce my dosage but these symptoms still stayed. So I was instructed to stop medication on August 2021 when my TSH level was 6. Since then till now never took this medication. I thought it is because of overdose and doctor said so.

[@nvjoy741]

Thanks for the reply doctor. When ever I eat gluten or sugar I feel sick again. Is the processed sugar bad for thyroid or any sugar. I am sorry for asking too much question.

I have no thyroid! I had Graves disease they ended up using radiation therapy to kill off my thyroid! I was on levothyroxine. My work got rid of our insurance. Now I have some kind of discount whatever! I can't find a doctor who will accept it! I have now been without any thyroid medication for 3 months and a few days! I'm also trying to take care of Mt adult disabled daughter! I was told I have fibromyalgia in 210 and osteoarthritis In both knees! My fingers are swollen at the joints and I can't straighten my fingers out anymore. Any thoughts? Is there a supplement I can take to help me!
