Can Levothyroxine cause Sweating and Hot Flashes?

May I ask what your TSH Levels are. My Endo keeps taking me to less than 2. 0 and says that is good. I know better because my hair gets brittle and my nails and skin around my nails get so brittle that my the skin around my thumb nails split. I told him it was too low and to change it. He did change it and my hair and nails became some better, but the sweating and heat intolerance will not go away. What is funny to me is, the profuse sweating and heat intolerance are symptoms that you are to call your doctor about if you start experiencing them. He says he has been doing this for 10 years and I am the only person that has this problem. I told him it is because most women believe it is menopause. He is a PA, but I would think he would be consulting with the doctor about my issues. I am at a loss as what to do. I went off the meds for 4 months and my TSH went to 15.0

You are not the only one this is happening to. My anxiety was at an all time high I felt most days like I was losing my mind. Then the constant sweating and heat intolerance, it’s February, it’s 10 degrees and I’m dripping in sweat, this is not normal. I transitioned from 75 to 50 and did okay for a while and then my heart rate went up again, waking up soaking wet, over anxious, severe anxiety again, I’ve now cut it to 25 and I’m still sweating, my hair and fingernails are a mess, but the constant being on edge feeling is gone for now. I think I’m just going to try to go off it. My numbers weren’t that high to begin with 7.6 and last time I had it checked they were 2. I’d rather be tired than feel like that. I’ve had enough.
