| Add Levothyroxine review I am concerned that perscription lable says "Do not skip doses or discontinue" Why??????????????????? I have only taken one dose, just started. Am concerned about continuing. I still cant loose weight I have changed my lifestyle and everything. my numbers are good so I cant complain a lot. I have a hugely swollen thyroid. so im assuming surgery is my next step. What people have to accept is when your body is no longer able to make it's own natural hormone such as thyroid then you enter an arena of comprise. I have found through trial and error what works for me but it has taken about four years........ I now take thyroxin last thing at night every night and at 110lbs & 5:4' I have found 100mcg work ... | Add Thyrolar review Yes bring it back I have felt awful for two years now, gaining weight, not eatting, and my doc. just keeps saying no its working, right I'm sooo tired. help need thyrolar when will they bring it back? or why doesn't another company make the drug..... anyone remember euthroid? they took it off the market first...so sad... forrest get with it! i've taken thyroid medicine my whole adult live and thyrolar was great..what's out there now just doesn't cut it. | |||
