underactive thyroid
"I had been on Levoxyl (name brand) for about 10 years when they just recently decided to recall the medication from the pharmacy shelves.  I was on 0.50 mcg 3 times per week and 0.75 mcg 3 times per week with one day off altogether.  I did very well on it.  My thyroid had finally gotten to the normal range when they decided to pull it off of the shelves. Now I am at a loss as to what to take. The doctor put me on the Synthroid (Levothyroxine 50 mcg). I took it for a month. It was not too bad at first but as it started to build up in my system I began having tremors and feeling jittery all of the time with a weak feeling in my legs and muscles.  I am now on Synthroid but don't feel all that good."
