@annedodrill44 Glad to see this post. I have been on Synthroid for over 20 years. In that time I have been to five different doctors (PCP and endos) as a result of moving or referral, and all of them prescribed it or said I need it basically because my thyroid doesn't function. They all insist on the brand and not the generic. I have not had any problems with it. I have never had any side effects; it just does what it is supposed to do. Have you asked if your Synthroid and another med you take may not be playing well together?

Thank you both for responding. Yes, I am on brand name Synthroid, and my pharmacist and my doctors at Mayo are aware of all my medications. I have my annual physical at Mayo in a couple months and will discuss my symptoms again at that time. Looking for something to blame them on! Nausea and nervousness are so nebulous. Most doctors say general anxiety disorder — could be!
