Will taking a lower dose of medication (synthroid) than is needed cause a person's face to look bloated and puffy? Thanks.

It will surely enlighten you!! Good Luck almondjoy 02-22-2004, 02:10 AM thanks for the information!

Dr. Lowe is a famous dr on the internet that has some interesting opinions on thyroid treatments. ABout the puffy face...that is indeed a sign you are still hypothyroid despite being on medication. Many people remain hypo on T4 drugs because a lot of people are poor converters. You may need T3 in addition to T4 in order to stop all the hypo symptoms. bodybuildergirl 02-22-2004, 02:26 PM Dr. Lowe is a famous dr on the internet that has some interesting opinions on thyroid treatments.
