What are your synthroid side effects? When I was trying to get help for 10 yrs, 1991 to 2002, a doc had put meI would like to know too. I have been on Synthroid but the side effects are difficult. My doctor gave me a prescription for Armour but I haven't been brave enough to switch (yet).

My challenge is it makes my legs ache and gives me stomach/digestion issues, also one of my breasts is larger. Similar to when I went through puberty (many many years ago). I have an appointment with my gynecologist but my mammogram was fine and the swelling started about five days after I started the Synthroid. Odd, I know but that is my personal experience.What are your synthroid side effects? When I was trying to get help for 10 yrs, 1991 to 2002, a doc had put me
on Synthroid and I was falling over with fatigue. Maybe if I had worked with it it would have gotten better, but I do have a BLOCK against synthroid regardless....

I've only been on it a few weeks but I think (hope) there is something that would be more agreeable to my body.
Hi,Thanks for the info, I have a 100 tab bottle waiting for me at CVS of the Armour and the best they can sell
it to me is $106 for the 100 tabs.....this is with the discounts I have in their system....but I just can't decide if trying
it again is what I need to do....sticking with the daily low dose iodine may be what I need,,
I would not hesitate as you have only 15 and what do you have to lose? Are they 50mg which is 1 grain?Hi,
My side effects are from Synthroid. Sorry, if I wasn't clear on that.
I have not tried Armour. I was able to have my doctor order just 15 pills of Armour and I have the prescription. I have not been brave? enough to try them. I explained to my doctor that right now while we are switching and 'testing' medications I have to pay out of pocket and requested just the fifteen pills. She understood and agreed, that's how I got such a small amount for a small out of pocket cost. My hesitation with Armour is what I have read online. That the batches can vary from one prescription to another. Also, that if someone has a low Ferritin level (part of the iron/anemia testing) that Armour can make anxiety worse. My ferritin level back in April was 'low normal' so I have hesitated against trying the Armour.
Thank you,
