Tirosint Headaches - Do They Go Away?

[FroggyDay]

Doctor switched me to 25mg Tirosint 1 week ago after being on 'NP Thyroid' 30mg.

After 3 days experiencing non-stop headaches, among other side effects. Do these headaches go away with time, or do you need dosage adjustment to make them stop?

Wondering if I need to hang in there with this dosage for awhile, or request a change?

Did not take my dose today and headaches have stopped this afternoon...

Hello,
I saw your post about Tirosint headaches. Did they ever clear up? I was on Tirosint in 2014 then switched to NDT in 2015 and now the doc is adding a little T4 to my Naturethriod back on Tirosint and the headaches are back.
Wondering what your experience was?

Thanks
Dana

I've been on Tirosint since it came out in 2009 and I never had headaches.

The headaches shouldn't be a side effect of the Tirosint, because it takes at least 4-6 weeks for a med/dosage change to take effect.  They could be because you don't have the T3 that you were getting from the NP.

"Side effects" of levothyroxine are symptoms of hyper.  What other symptoms do you have?

What are your most current thyroid lab results?  You should be getting Free T3, Free T4 and TSH done regularly.  Be sure to include reference ranges, since these vary lab to lab and must come from your own lab report.

Do you know if you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
