Re: Levothroid vs Generic Levothyroxine

[Guest guest]

I take the levothroid sublingually as that gets it directly in my system without

having to be absorbed in my gut. When I was taking the T4/T3 orally, it didn't

seem to do anything at all.

There are a couple reasons for this. 1) those of us with low thyroid typically

have a low body temperature. A normal body temperature is needed for our bodies

to produce the enzymes necessary to digest foods or to absorb meds. 2) There is

medical research showing that folks with Hashi's have difficulty absorbing the

T4/T3. And, as I often " preach " celiac disease goes along with the same genes

that predispose one to hashi's. So, having difficulty absorbing anything is

extremely common.

not have and wasn't able to order Levothroid last month so I switched to the

generic Levothyroxine. Now, I'm experiencing rapid heart rate and rise in blood

pressure and suspect the Levothyroxine but unsure. So, I'm seeking opinions if

others have experienced this.
