Wellbutrin is a good add-on drug for other ADs, since it is not a tricyclic, SSRI or SNRI. I took it with Cymbalta for years, with Effexor for a few months, and then back with Cymbalta and then...
Kudos for sticking in there with your new medications despite the roadblocks. Are you taking generic Cymbalta (duloxetine) or the brand name? There have been some additional side effects associated...
There is a thread a few down with someone with similar symptoms. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=37&m=3132024 My free T3 and free T4 are within normal range. TSH is a bit high,...
Wow! And i thought my TPO was high at 105. (Normal is under 35). Are you taking selenium? I started taking 200mcg a few weeks ago, and at my last blood test, my TPO was down to 85. I can't say that...
Tip: If you use Labcorp or Quest for your testing, you can sign up via their portals to view your lab results yourself. I don't know about Quest, but Labcorp keeps them all on file so you can go back...
I guess it usually comes down to personal preferences and convenience as to what lab you use for your bloodwork, but can anyone share their opinions as to why they prefer one over the other? Or are...
You will need to have follow up blood work done to see how the Synthroid is affecting your TSH levels. These numbers move very, very slowly. Six weeks like Judy2 said. I would probably have bloodwork...
Also, what is Idioal?...
I was also recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's, though I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost two years ago. I was taking 50mcg of Synthroid, but about five-six weeks ago it was increased by my...
It is my understanding that the numbers should be under 3.0, especially for those with family history of thyroid issues. I have three female relatives with Hashimoto's, and I have it as well. My last...
Still itchy two weeks later. Primarly my face/head and arms. It comes and goes. I emailed my endocrinologist but have not gotten a reply. It's a hot prickly itch that requires scratching for relief....
My Synthroid dosage was increased from 50mcg to 75mcg on 5/15. On 5/22 I started experiencing itching, mostly on my arms. I went to urgent care that Saturday (was out of town), was given script for...
Thanks for the reply. I was actually able to see an endocrinologist, despite my gp's insistence that no further testing was necessary. Thankfully my insurance doesn't require referrals. She's the one...
Thanks for the message. I am concerned because I still feel tired all the time and my stress response is low. I don't know how I will be able to return to work and function properly. I was supposed...
I am a 40 year old male who was diagnosed hypothyroid almost two years ago based on TSH level testing only done by a nurse practitioner. I was prescribed 50mcg Synthroid after my initial TSH test...
