> http://www.thyroid-info.com/Noa, the side effects I am having from Synthroid
are increased anxiety and panic which they warned
me may happen, also heart palpitations, increased
sweating, especially at night and strangely,
weakness and dizziness which sometimes gets really
nasty. I wake up at night and can't sit up in bed
as things are spinning around so badly. They have
had me on many different strengths and even took
me off of it for awhle but it just seems like once
you start on this drug you can never quit it. I
am now on the lowest possible dosage again and am
trying to work my way up to a stronger one but I
had to cut back this week due to heart
palpitations and jitteriness. Synthroid is a drug
I don't think much of and I have inquired about
getting the Armour thyroid but no one seems to
want to use that anymore. I think the company
that makes Synthroid must be giving these docs a
kickback or something.
Are you on thyroid meds now???
