Synthroid (levothyroxine) I'm taking 137 mgs right now but when my thyroid was dowm the Dr. gave me a different mg level, but I can't remember if is what it was, but it sure gave me energy and I lost weight but then he change it and said that I'm were I should be and if I continued it would get osteoarthritis the dr said that I'm right on the border line. I wish I could remember the mgs, because I felt so good and didn't have any problems on that mg level and I ask him if I could go back on it and he said no..

Name Brand Vs. Generic I'm unsure of who to believe. I still hear that the generic is not as effective as the brand and I have heard this from some very prominent, famous physicians, however, my pharmacy says that it is the same. What is the real answer? I'm sticking to brand until I hear better. Friday, 6/13/2008 7:16:19 AM  6 Replies

Interaction? I have been taking this medication for quite a while and I believe my minor thyroid problem is under control. I have read and been told that this perticular medication can give you extra energy and weight loss. This is definately not happening in my case, in fact just the opposite. I have never felt this was due to medication though. An acquaintance told me that my medication would work in this manner if I took it at least one hour prior to taking my other medications and vitamins or drinking anything ie: coffee, tea, juice, etc. Could this be true and my doctor has just been remiss in relating this info to me, or have I been remiss in reading the RX insert?
