Advice & Tips
I was taking 10mg. And I noticed my hair falling out and also I was sweating all the time, going though 2-3 t-shirts a day. So I snaped the pill in half and was then taking just the 5mg, my hair stoped falling out but the sweating was still so sevear. I just couldn't stand it any longer. I couldnt wear long sleeve shirts, sweaters, or jackets / coats anymore, not even in the winter. So I had it, and stoped taking it. I still sweat more then I used to before I started taking it, but not as much.

Advice & Tips
I used to be so, so cold, and this was in Southern California. I'm fine now and I live in Michigan. Even worse, I experienced debilitating fatigue. And I had a new baby. It was a very terrible experience. When I began taking Synthroid, these symptoms vanished. I still get fatigued, but I do not attribute it to hypothyroidism

Advice & Tips
I used to be VERY fatigued all the time and cold most of the time. It was a terrible experience, especially since I had little children at the time. Synthroid changed all of that.
