Bad reactions to Levothroid?

Hi all:
I'm getting ready for my endo appt, and have put together a list of current symptoms. Something Missy wrote recently got me thinking and I'd like to hear from those of you who switched away from Levothroid and noticed a reduction in symptoms. I know that my insurance encourages Levothroid and discourages Synthroid, so I'd like to have some evidence, but I think my continued hair loss, heart palpitations, sleeplessness and neausea might be related to the med., because my TSH is no where near low, so I know I'm not going hyper...
Anyway, let me know if you've noticed a difference between the two in terms of side effects.
Thanks again,
Dee.
ps. Unfortunately, I think I have to go in to work today and re-schedule this appointment... I'm really bummed because I spent almost the whole weekend in bed fighting exhaustion and headache! But my supervisor will be out this morning and there's no one to cover me, so I don't know what else to do... waaa.

Hi Cathy:
No, I didn't.. but the good news is that when I called the endo, they had just received a cancellation for Wed. morning and so I'm going then! And the even better news is that this appt. is with the endo that I'd wanted in the first place... she's someone I found through Mary S's listings on 'about...' So it all worked out for the better.
And, of course, my supervisor showed up anyway (LOL)!
The new endo's office is absolutely great so far... so, fingers crossed, the endo will be, too.
Dee.
