Levothyroxine 0.112mg (112mcg) Tabs: My Experience and Side Effects
I've been taking Levothyroxine 0.112mg (112mcg) Tabs for a few months now, and I've had mixed experiences. Initially, it was a relief to finally have a treatment for my hypothyroidism, but I've encountered some side effects that have been challenging. Has anyone else had issues with hair loss or excessive sweating? I'm curious to know if these are common or if I should be concerned. I've also noticed some mood changes, which can be tough to deal with. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Mood changes can be brutal. Just remember, it's your body adjusting to the new hormone levels. Give it time.
I've been on Levothyroxine for years and experienced hair loss at first, but it stopped after a few months. Stay hydrated and talk to your doctor if it doesn't improve.
I've been on this for a while and haven't had any major issues. Maybe you're more sensitive to the medication? Keep a log of your symptoms and discuss with your doctor.
I had a bad reaction to Levothyroxine and switched to a compounded version. It made a huge difference for me. You might want to explore that option.
Levothyroxine isn’t for everyone. If the side effects are too much, talk to your doctor about other treatment options.
Have you checked your thyroid levels recently? Sometimes dosage needs to be adjusted.
I had a similar experience with hair loss. If you're losing patches of hair, it’s a good idea to get it checked out. Sometimes it can be a sign of a vitamin deficiency.
This is why I always suggest keeping a journal of symptoms. It makes it much easier to track changes and discuss with your doctor.
I noticed mood swings too, but they got better once I found the right dosage. Stick with it and work closely with your endocrinologist.
I had a friend who experienced terrible sweating and shakes. Some doctors suggest trying a different brand or compounded version to see if it helps.
