Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Does synthroid ever cause photosensitivity? I just started taking it a week ago, and on a whim went to a tanning bed today, normally I do 13 minutes or so today I only set it for 10 minutes because I hadn't been in a while (although I've been out in the sun and have a light base tan). In less than 8 minutes I ended up with a terrible burn, I was afraid I was going to blister but so far I am "only" bright red, very painful. I've NEVER gotten burned by 8 minutes in a tanning bed, even in the dead of winter!!! I didn't find sun sensitivity in the list of possible side effects but you ladies have extensive experience so I thought I'd ask here. Also I was out in the sun (with sunscreen) on Sunday with no problems, but today I took some cold medicine (Dayquil) so maybe its an interaction? thanks!!!
