A member asked:
With thyroid issues & taking synthroid (thyroxine) for about 2 years, is it normal to have my dose changed from75 to 50mg and back every few months? 2nd opinion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is not normal. Consider going on non-generic synthroid (thyroxine) or getting a second opinion from an endocrinologist.
