different symptoms after 6 weeks

[hitoyouto]

I have been on meds up and down for 6 months now. I was on synthriod samples but when I got the RX from the pharmacy it was generic. I was experencing lots of muscle pain in my arms, upper back, and chest at 75mcg on synthroid. I do ok for about 6 weeks then all the sudden I have no sleep, really bad sore muscles in my upper body. I get no sleep and feel like **** and want to stop my meds. I cant seem to get it right. are these symptoms due to much medication?

These are not likely side effects of Synthroid, but effects of hypothyroidism.  Work with your doctor to try to get this fine-tuned and consider the addition of T3 although this does not consistently work.

Google side effects of Synthroid - most of what you are experiencing are caused by this drug.  Why would you want to make your body worse with a medication you are taking!  Did you know the FDA would not approve Synthroid for YEARS because of problems? Look that up too.

Now look up Armour & Thyrolar.  Your body should be feeling BETTER not WORSE.
