Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Back when I first started the hypothyroid journey, my doctor put me on T4. Within days, I had a migraine. I discontinued the T4 (levoxyl, I think) and the migraine(s) stopped. I was then put on a compounded synthetic T4/T3 and the same migraine happened. I switched to dessicated thyroid and actually had FEWER migraines than before. Now I am seeing a new doctor and taking T3 only. I have requested T4. He prescribed synthroid. I took 1/2 of the pill prescribed, knowing my history with the migraines. I had the worst migraine I have ever had after taking the synthetic T4. I have not taken it since, and I am still fuzzy headed. This was a couple of days ago. Do y'all have any idea what could be causing these migraines? I have a call in to my doctor and have talked with the nurse, but we have not yet connected after her conversation with the doctor. I feel like I need some T4 to cover the overnight time when I don't take any of the cytomel. I am having a very difficult time waking up, despite the fact that my blood levels of cortisol are high. Have any of you had this migraine issue with synthetic T4? Were you able to find a brand or compound so that you could tolerate it? Or did you switch to dessicated?
