THYROID--Tirosint

Posted: Jun 4, 2012

hello,

i was dx'd with hashimoto's a couple years ago. i NEVER take generic levothyroxine. i was wondering if anyone is content taking Tirosint. Tirosint is a capsule, not a tablet, and CANNOT be bootlegged -- unless someone REALLY hates, you, that is

THANKS

Hi FourGalore
I was on Tirosint for four months until my lovely insurance company decided they were not going to pay any of it anymore.
I loved it. I had no issues at all while on it.
Doc switched me to levothyroxine and I had a month of hair falling out and constipation. It is better now but I was happier on the Tirosint.
The little bubble packs are great too. No more remembering if you took your damn pill or not.

Okay, for the last month or so I've come to realize my hair is exceedingly dry. I normally have to wash my hair every other day because it is oily, and even though this is great that I don't have to wash it so often, it is a real change from what I am used to do.

I already posted this in response to someone else's post. I don't have insurance, but the dentist at the dental school I went to affirmed I have thyroid nodules (really, I have more than one?) I'm afraid to get this checked out, I don't have insurance, how am I going to afford Synthroid? It's 49 dollars for the office visit + cost of tests. What if they want to do a biopsy? I need tires, blah, blah, blah, dental work, blah, blah, blah.... ...

I had been hypothyroid for 30 years on Synthroid. Suddenly I started losing weight and have lost 70 lbs over the last year. I didn't have insurance so could not check this out until recently. T3 and T4 were very high. Ultrasound showed a small nodule on the thyroid and thyroiditis. I just had the first part of the 24-hour thyroid uptake scan today. I won't have the results until I see the endocrinologist next week. Has anyone else had their thyroid change ...
