Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've been on Synthroid for about 3 months and I've noticed absolutely no change [except for a few days of atypical reactions apparently to same] except in the TSH reduced test results. However, one thing I've noticed is that my allergic rhinitus [hay fever] has become worse during the past month or so. I've been on 3 mg Melatonin for 3 nights and seem to be sleeping better. I am under the impression that there are not so likely to be interactions between Melatonin and many of the other hormones. Any opinions? I want to go very slowly, especially with hormonal self medication, since my reactions to medication is often atypical.

I have met peeps on the internet who said they felt fine with sky high TSH. Once on meds they got more symptoms! What I look at is symptoms, is the person taking meds (drugs for COPD, irregular heart beat, insomnia) for these symptoms? b/c sooner or later the problems will get worse>>>more expense>>>>more misery. My mother is an example of this, it's a nightmare. Instead of matching a drug for every symptom, I would treat the system to get back to health.
