well, a known side effect of levothyroxine is "nervousness." I think you'd find that listed on any reputable drug website. This is anxiety, really. Which I suppose, since this is a synthetic hormone, is much (or exactly?) the same as if your own hormones are 'off' (as in hyperthyroidism, often accompanied by anxiety)

I used to do medical transcription for an endocrinologist for about 6 months. I remember he often lowered pts Synthroid dose if they reported any significant inner restlessness, anxiety, nervousness...whatever, that he/they felt probably correlated with the medication.

my 2 cents :-)


MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)

Meds: Strattera 80 mg q day
