Euthyrox 0.2mg (200mcg) Tab Side Effects: My Experience and What to Watch For
I've been on Euthyrox 0.2mg (200mcg) for a few months now, and while it's been helpful for my hypothyroidism, I've experienced some side effects that I want to share. I've had hair loss, which is apparently common, but I also had a few episodes of feeling jittery and anxious. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are any tips to manage these side effects. I've read about the urgent side effects, and while I haven't experienced any of those, I'm still cautious. Does anyone have advice on how to distinguish between normal side effects and something more serious? Has anyone reported side effects to the FDA, and if so, what was that process like? I want to make sure I'm doing everything right, but it's a bit overwhelming.

I've been really sick with changes in eyesight, and an appointment with my doctor showed that my dose was too high. This stuff is serious! Listen to your body and get checked out if something doesn't feel right.
I got so dizzy after taking it, then got it into my head that I had brain cancer. Turns out I had some bad vitamin D levels so I actually felt better after getting that checked. Stay calm and get a second opinion!
I've had such a hard time with Euthyrox because I kept getting heart palpitations. I switched to a different brand like generic levothyroxine. I had to keep going back to my doctor about it until they finally agreed to let me switch.
I had to go through 4 different brands of levothyroxine before I found one that worked for me. It's a long process but it's worth it to feel better.
This thread is exactly why I'm scared to even try this medication. I've been putting it off because I'm just terrified that it will be so awful. But if all goes well it's going to be a really good thing for me
I got really bad hair loss and I was worried, but it stopped after a few months. I just kept reminding myself that it was temporary and it wasn't my fault. Hopefully if you're reading it and experiencing this it will help you to know that!
I've been on this for years and never had any side effects. Maybe you're just more sensitive to it.
I had the same anxiety issue, and my doctor told me it might be due to a sudden increase in my dose. We lowered it slightly and the side effects seemed to disappear.
I've been on Euthyrox for a while and had similar side effects through weeks 1-4, like hair loss and anxiety. I found that adjusting the time of day I take the medication, from morning to evening, has helped a lot. I take mine with an empty stomach in the AM, but I've heard some people say that taking it in the evening has really helped. Don't stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, but it might be worth asking about adjusting your daily routine.
