Hi there:

Yes, I have been put on Synthroid (2 times now) and have found that I am

retaining fluids. I have never had problems before this. I am definitely not

overweight (112 lbs now) and work out almost daily but have noticed I have been

having to take my rings off from being swollen. Plus my abdomen area is getting

the bloatied look...not fat...just blown up like a balloon.

I went to my doctor last week for a blood test and I told his nurse how I am

feeling (the bloating and the pains in my muscles and joints like having the

flu.) She told me I am the only person that has complained of such side

effects. I then thought maybe it is just me...being a difficult patient, so to

speak.

Regards,

Janet Tucker

Hi there

I started off on Eltroxin (levothyroxine) when I was first diagnosed

four years ago and remained on it for almost two years. Before taking

it one of the symptoms I most certainly did not have was depression.

Shortly after taking this drug I ended up on anti-depressants which I

eventually weaned myself off but I also stopped taking T4 and I

haven't been troubled by depression since. I have also stop looking

like an over inflated red balloon!

Up until now I have been taking T3 only but my doctor's want me back

on this drug and I am very very reluctant to do so. Has anyone else

linked synthetic T4 with depression and serious fluid retention?

Can you get both in one tablet?

Is there a two in one tablet available? Up until Novemeber of 2004

I didn't even know that T3 was available as an option never mind a

combination of both. However I still feel very aprehensive about

taking the eltroxin again even with T3!

I used to get stomach bloating so bad that I felt as if I was going

to explode and I looked about 9 months pregnant! It was so

uncomfortable but I rarely get bloating now and when I do it's no

where near as bad and that is why I am so reluctant to go back on

the levothyroxine.
