A member asked:

Synthroid (thyroxine) has made my hair frizzy , dry and uncontrollable. i am tired, moody.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need lab work: It is more likely that the dose of synthroid (thyroxine) that you are on is not adequate, as the symptoms that you describe are of an underactive thyroid....Not side effects of the medicine. Call your doctor and have your labs checked soon.
