Advice & Tips
I feel that this is not the right medicine for me, or that it should be higher, as after 12 years of being on it, I still don't feel that there is a change in my thyroid.

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.
