I started the synthroid (generic) two months ago and while my thyroid went from over 5 to 2.07 I am still gaining weight. I am still tired a lot also. about three weeks after I started meds I noticed that I had a sore throat. I thought it might be allergy but I still have it. Is it coincidence or shoud I mention it to the endo? I won't see him for another month or so. I need to have the bloodwork redone before I go. Also, While my tsh and t4 were fine, my t3 was elevated. I don't know what it was elevated to, just that it was slightly elevated. I'm thinking some of my weigh is attributed to my surgery two weeks ago for the kidney but again I don't know. The other problem I have right now is that after I lost all the extra weight a couple years ago, my Carpal Tunnel went away and now with the increased weight ans swelling, it's back. I hate it. Any suggestions? Mary

But please, check out the generics posts and switch off if you can. That will give you the best shot at having the purest and maximum dose possible. Then at least you won't have that to worry about. Hugs, Cathy :)
