Did I understand?: Do you mean you developed symptoms when you didn't take synthroid (thyroxine)? This is possible, but not likely if you just miss a few doses.

Yes,those are normal: Side-effects of hypothyroidism, weight gain, fatigue, lethargy (not anger though) sleepiness, etc. I suggest you see your doctor so they can refill your medication because your period might become too heavy as well.

I have hypothyroidism and am on Synthroid (thyroxine) 50 mcg. Haven't taken it in three weeks. I feel absolutely exhausted and horrible. Is this bc my thyroid got screwed up again? Doc did a thyroid panel on me today

Why is there such a divide in the hypothyroidism doctor world about Synthroid (thyroxine) vs Armour. It seems docs have very strong opinions either way?
