Started levothroxine (12.5mcg) bc tsh is 4.9 and t4 3.8. i am now extremely dizzy. is there an alternative to levothroxine that i can try to take?

Thyroid?: Before you take an alternative to levothyroxine your doctor must confirm what your current levels are and decide to change thyroid dosing. If the levels are OK the doctor must determine what the cause of dizziness might be. Please let me know how things go.
