Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hi , By any chance have you been on a recalled drug? Anectdotally, there have been a number of people I have corresponded with and one in my support group who had this happen on synthroid. When they changed their medication to levoxyl the problem seemed to disappear. I am not aware of any medical reason that the tsh could elevate (maybe someone else is?). Have you been taking your meds regualarly with at least 5 hours between that and vitamins & calcium? Iron and calcium prevent proper absorption of thyroid meds.
