Who has experience with Levothyroxine Sod 100mcg Injectables? Your input needed, please!
I have been prescribed Levothyroxine Sod 100mcg Inj, 1 vial for emergency use due to myxedema coma. I'm really nervous about the side effects, especially the serious ones. Has anyone used this before and can share their experiences? I want to be prepared for any issues.

I recently had a thyroid crisis and had to use the injectable form. First of all, it was a lot to go through. My doctors were monitoring my heart rate and blood pressure closely. I had some weird muscle cramps and weakness, but it got better after a few days, and I was able to switch back to the pill. Just be cautious and stay in touch with your healthcare provider.
I've had to use the injection a couple of times. It was horrible, but it did the job. Be prepared for some serious mood swings and body aches. My doctor made sure to monitor me closely and adjusted my dosage as needed. My doctor also told me to keep an eye on any changes in my menstrual cycle. I didn't know that could happen.
I've been on Levothyroxine for a while, but never the injectable form. I hope you feel better soon! Be sure to monitor your blood pressure, too.
Seriously? They gave you the injection? That must be scary. I had to switch to the pill when my thyroid stopped cooperating. It was a rough transition, but it got better. Hope yours does too.
I had to use the injectable form during a severe illness. The side effects were manageable, but I had some crazy mood swings. Make sure to talk to your doctor about it. You'll be okay.
I've been on oral Levo for years, never had any serious side effects. Hope the injection works for you!
I've had to use the injection a few times, and honestly, it's not fun. I got some serious muscle cramps and bone pain. The doctor said it's because I was so dehydrated. He also said to not worry too much about it, and that it was really important to stay hydrated. It helped me.
I was in the hospital for a thyroid issue and they gave me the injection. I felt like absolute garbage for a few days, but it helped. I was so sensitive to light and heat. I had to have bed rest because the muscle weakness was just too much. Definitely talk to your doctor about the side effects and make sure you know what to expect.
I'm on Levothyroxine, too. I've never had issues, but I had a friend who got major hair loss. It's supposed to be temporary.
