weight loss w/meds?

I have just started taking synthroid for hypothyroidism. My symptoms were fatigue and weight gain. Has anyone had success in losing weight after getting thier thyroid regulated? How long did any weight loss seem to take?

Hi Tricia,
Welcome to our board.
I'm not taking synthroid so I can't address your question from my experience but I'll list our links if you'd like to do some research.

I lost about 10 pounds the first month I was on it. I slowed down after that, but I'm still losing about five pounds a month.
I'm only on 50 mcg, though. I have a feeling with my next checkup I'll be bumped up - I'm still having the hair loss.
