User Comments about Tirosint
04 Feb 2012 Tirosint is amazing, since having my thyroid removed I have had none stop issues, my body didn't like the thyroid meds :( Within one week of taking tirosint I was feeling better, no more puffy eyes, I was sleeping better, my BP dropped back down to normal, no more headaches. I was also getting a constant rash, which completely went away. It really has felt like a life savor. I also love the packaging as it is much like the Birth Control Pills, so if I am ever unsure if I took my meds I can just look at my package, since it can be very unhealthy to DOUBLE dose.

17 Oct 2011 I have been on Tirosint for 30 days and have experienced weight gain, hunger all day, irritability, sleep issues and feeling achy upon awakening. I have been on 1200-1300 calories a day and my weight is still edging upward. I have email to my dr to find out what to do next. My friend is going through the exact same symptoms. Something is up.

11 Sep 2011 I started on Levothyroxine. but switched to Tirosint because my pharmacy didn't carry Levo. And since then, all of my symptoms that I had before I was even diagnosed have come back. Ive put on more weight, I have horrible acne, my skin is dry again, hair falling out, painful/stiff neck. But not there are new symptoms, like skipped periods (Ive taken two tests and theyve both been negative), bloating, restlessness, pain in my joints, hand cramps. The list goes on and I cant take it anymore. I have an appointment to see an Endocrinologist in a few days. I hope he can figure things out, Im worried that Ill leave there with no new options and that my levels are fine. I hope I get some help.

05 Sep 2011 Within a few weeks of being on Tirosint I began having HORRENDOUS lower back pain. I am now almost completely bald on top of my head as my head will now break out with these red sore spots that itch and the hair (root and all) will easily fall out when you scratch/pull on the hair. Still feel like crap, like my hypo symptoms are still there although my test results all say "normal" (whatever that means).

11 Sep 2011 Have you just been going to your regular doctor or a specialist thats taking tests on you? Im going to be seeing an endocrinologist in a few days, I hoping I dont get the "levels are fine" line either. A lot of my symptoms are back or worst. ( I posted right above you btw) How long have you been on tirosint?
