Re: can stopping levothyroxine alltogether hurt till i see new dr ??
It shouldn't hurt to stop just for a few days but I wouldn't reccomend any longer.
With all the terrible symptoms you're experiencing, my thought was you should probably go to the ER.
Your doctor is upping your dosage probably a little too fast for you. And changing from generic to Synthroid may have been a bit of a shock for your system too.
I personally do better with generic levothyroxine than I did with Synthroid. I seem to be the oddball when it comes to that. With the name brand, I had lots of heart palpitations that would scare the heck out of me. With the generic, I feel more even-keeled, more like my old self.
I hope your new doctor is one who listens to you and works with you to get you well.
You reminded me of what my life was like 4 years ago when I was first diagnosed.
I know it's hard to believe this now but you will feel better. It takes a while but you will feel better.
Love, Barb
