Had some problems with my thyroid gland. My doctor told me it could be serious, so I should have started taking medicine to prevent possible disease. He gave me a list of possible drugs, he told me I could choose any for a therapy. My choice was Synthroid, and there's no regret. My thyroid gland is absolutely ok now, thanks!  

I feel much better now that I've started treatment with Synthroid. My thyroid levels are normal now and I do blood tests regularly.  

Synthroid has relieved most of my hypothyroidism symptoms. I seem to have much more energy during the day and I'm feeling better overall.  

Synthroid has made me feel differently. I used to suffer from excessive tiredness and hair loss and mood swings. Now all these symptoms are gone and my TSH is normal.  

I have been put on Synthroid about three months ago to treat my underactive thyroid. Before I tried Synthroid I had tried out several other meds but they were either not sufficiently effective for me or caused side effects I couldn't tolerate. In general I almost got used to feeling constant exhaustion, cold intolerance, and extreme tiredness. My skin was so horribly dry and I couldn't change this condition in any way. I used to buy tons of nourishing and moisturizing creams and rubbed it all over my body to get rid of those nasty sensations of itching, cracking and irritation. Besides I had severe problems with water retention. I needed to strictly control water intake in order to keep myself conscious. With Synthroid many of those problems disappeared completely. I feel so much better now that I can not actually believe it. Now I am working at the extra weight I have gained when concentrated on my search for a medication that would drive away the worst symptoms. I am sure with Synthroid I'll achieve good results and will bring the quality of my life to a much higher level.  

I've been taking Synthroid for almost half a year now to treat hypothyroidism. More than a year ago I had a surgery that resulted in thyroid removal so now I have to keep my hormone level with the help of medications. And Synthroid is the best solution that I have tried out. But before I have found it I had enough time to 'enjoy' all possible symptoms of my post-surgery hypothyroidism. Actually that was closer to being dead than alive and I felt myself correspondingly - like a zombie. I was slow to react, and was almost unable to normally communicate even with my family members. I started losing my hair and that was horrible, now I have to take good care if it to get it back. Luckily due to Synthroid I have enough energy to take care of myself and my hair. I also got a lot of extra weight and now I am trying to follow a healthier diet and get slimmer. But all this is not because of my strong will; it's because of Synthroid that turned me back into a human being. I got my interest in life back! May be it's just a rare case but I have absolutely no side effect with the med. Only positive changes and enthusiasm.  

I had my thyroid completely removed about 5 years ago and during the last three years I have been on Synthroid. This medication helped me bring my life back almost to the level before the surgery. To tell you the truth it took me about two years to find a drug that would be acceptable for me - without unbearable side effects and effective at maintaining my hormones at the necessary level. But now with Synthroid I know no problems. Before life was a nightmare, first months after the surgery I was like a used napkin - weak and pale. Had constant pain and weakness in all muscles had no energy to move or be in any way socially active - I had almost no connection with my friends, only family members could find it still interesting to communicate with the zombie I used to be. I was also in depression all the time, even thought about suicide. But luckily my doctor was clever enough to put me on Synthroid. In about a year I got back to my normal weight and appearance: more or less fit and active. Now it is easy for me to control my health condition. All I need to function normally is to regularly take my Synthroid dosage. Ask your doctor about this excellent medication if you haven't found your solution yet.
