Christi - Yes I did go to the Dr in Overton and at this point everyone I know that has been to him has been put on this thyroid medication. This makes me very apprehensive... is he prescribing without a basis. Did you see any better weight loss results after starting the new med? Has he done any follow-up lab work to check your levels afterward?
Nikkia2112 - I went to this dr. specifically for weight loss to get phen and he did do blood work to check for hypothyroid but it is for the purpose of weight loss. Also I have not been told what the results were…he just said he would be sending the script if they came back abnormal.
Jasp - Well he did do blood work but I’m beginning to think that it wouldn’t have mattered what the results said…I would have gotten the script anyway. I know that thyroid function is a very delicate thing to mess with so I certainly don’t want to make any unnecessary changes with it. How in the world are these weight loss clinics getting away with putting so many of their patients on thyroid meds when its likely that at least some of them don’t need it…idk? I guess for now I will forego the new med as I am currently losing without it.
Thank you all for your posts…you have been very helpful!
