A member asked:

I feel extreme fatigue after taking levothyroxine 50mg, is it a side effect? is that ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Kleerekoper answered

50 mg levothroxine: It is more likely that you are not taking enough levothyroxine. Please ask your doctor to measure your thyroid levels.
