I am on 100mcg of levoxyl every day, taking 2 pills on Thursday. so im not sure what that equals exactly. I just started Phen. 37.5 dose. I dont like the insomnia it has caused. in fact im concerned. i need to rest. I dont sleep 1 full hour at night. And the upset stomach is concerning too. im extremely gasy. But i have no appetite - so im not gasy from eating! The NO appetite has been great though! I sure hope the side effects severly lesson.
and I SO understand the tremendous difficulty of losing weight with hypothroydism. no matter what i do, i gain. and the Dr increases my med. i just dont understand why this disease can not be tamed. Just becasue you are 'between numbers' on a blood test - in no way means your metabolism is working properly. in fact, it NOT working properly if u r gaining weight all the time WITH the meds.

Im hopeful Phen will work for me. As long as i can live with the side effects.
