I'm reposting this since it was in a place where it may get missed.

I have been on Synthroid for three years. Last year my dosage was increased to 75MCG.
The results were noticeable. I started losing weight and I wasn't so tired. Aug. 23rd
my Pharmacist switched me to the generic LEVOTHROXIN. In three weeks I have put on 4 lbs
and feeling tired. I'm making an appointment with my Dr. and will have to pay for more blood tests. Has anyone else experienced these changes with the generic brand?

I did.

This is Babs ~ yes the very same thing happened to me. I was started on levoxyl and then three months into it - my mail order script sent me synthroid instead. Same dosage, however it did not work well for me. So with the help of my Dr. a new script for levoxyl was started again. I have come to find out that the meds you start out with are the ones that will serve you best. Please keep your Dr. informed, you know your body best! Please let me know how you make out.
