I've been prescribed Unithroid 0.15mg (150mcg) tablets for hypothyroidism and have been taking them for a few months now. I've noticed some improvements in my energy levels, but I'm also experiencing some hair loss. I've read that this is a common side effect, but it's still worrying. Has anyone else dealt with this? Also, what are some other possible side effects to look out for? I want to make sure I'm prepared. Anyone have any tips for managing side effects or general advice on living with hypothyroidism?

When I first started taking this, my doctor recommended a low-sodium diet to help with the symptoms. I noticed a big difference in how I felt, so it might be worth considering if you're experiencing weight gain or swelling.

I haven't experienced any side effects at all—touch wood. Maybe I'm just lucky, but it's been a smooth ride for me so far.

My shoe size changed. And I’m not joking. It wasn’t a dramatic change, but my shoes were noticeably tighter than before.

Be aware of excessive sweating as a side effect. I didn't think much of it at first, but it became a real issue. Thankfully my doctor adjusted my dose and it improved. Little things like this can be so helpful to note.
