A few weeks ago, my doctor prescribed me Euthyrox 0.05mg (50mcg) Tablets for an underactive thyroid. I've been struggling with fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold all the time, so I'm hoping this medication will help. I know it's supposed to help with my metabolism, but I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken this medication. Did it help with your symptoms? Did you experience any side effects? Anything I should watch out for? Looking forward to hearing any advice or similar experiences.

I was on Euthyrox for a while, but it didn't work for me. I switched to a different brand of levothyroxine, and it made a world of difference. Everyone is different, so don't be afraid to advocate for yourself. If it doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about alternatives.

I've been on Euthyrox for about six months now, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels and overall wellbeing. I did experience some hair loss initially, but it grew back after a few months. I also had some issues with what I thought was my heart rate being fast however after talking to my doctor we concluded that it was anxiety, so it's great to be aware of any changes you might feel and discuss them with your doctor. just takes time to get used to it, but I'm so glad, I would recommend it to anyone else experiencing the same issues.

I had no idea that certain foods could interfere with absorption. I've been eating a lot of soy lately. Does anyone know what else I should be careful with?

I've been on Euthyrox for a couple of years now, and it's been a game-changer for me. It took a while to find the right dosage, but once I did, my energy levels went up, and I started feeling like myself again. Just make sure to take it consistently at the same time every day, as that helps with its effectiveness. It is important to be patient it can take a few months for body to regulate back to normal. I barely had any side effects, but everyone is different

I've been on Euthyrox for a couple of years now and I am finally at the right dosage. I just had to be patient, I thought I was eating the same amount of food and going to the gym more but I gained 10 lbs in a month, I was so worried, I just had an adjustment, but I am feeling so much better. I've been on Euthyrox for a couple of years now and I am finally at the right dosage.

Are you taking it in the morning before eating? I found that taking it in the morning on an empty stomach helped me, but everyone is different.

I've been on Euthyrox for about a year now. I've not had any side effects just make sure to take your medication at the same time every day and sometimes if it's not right for you, you will have to try something else. I've not had many side effects, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels,
