A member asked:

Just started taking 88 mcg of synthroid (thyroxine) for hypothyroidism. have been feeling awful, nausea, dizzy and drowsy. will this pass? in how long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't think: your symptoms are side effects of Synthroid, (thyroxine) but more likely caused by another condition. You should ask your doctor to look for another cause of your symptoms.
