Sex drive?

I'm on 100 mg of synthroid (started on April 24th) and just noticed 2 weeks ago that I have lost my sex drive. Didn't think it would happen to me but I knew it could be a side effect. I'm getting my levels upped in August, going for RAI next week. Anyone experience this?

I have had this problem, too, and am still trying to get my drive back. I took Synthroid for just over two years--going from 100 to 150 mgs and am now on Armour. From what I have read in different thyroid books it seems that this is a side effect of being hypo, but I am not sure how to solve it because I am going through the same thing. I have been on Armour for three weeks now and have not seen improvements yet. I hope someone else can help. I just wanted to post and let you know that you are not alone!
