Can you get still pregnant taking synthroid?
I just found out that I have hypothyroidism and my Endocrinologist put me on Synthroid. I asked him this very same question because my husband and I have been trying for 2 years to conceive and he told me that yes, you can get pregnant while taking Synthroid just make sure once you do, you make an appointment with your doctor to discuss how much.
Can hypothyroid cause insomnia?
Hypothyroid (low thyroid levels) are more likely to make you tired and drowsy. Hyperthyroid is more likely to keep you awake. Many diabetics have low thyroid levels, and take Synthroid. If you accidentally take two days worth of Synthroid, it almost is like being on amphetamines. If your doctor prescribes Synthroid, he may specify the name-brand drug rather than the generic. There's nothing wrong with the various generic versions of the drug, but they do not have equal bio-equivalency. If you could stick to just one brand, it's as easy to titrate your needs as with Synthroid, but if you've been prescribed the generic, the druggist may switch brands on you without your knowledge, and that causes problems. Consequently, doctors tend to specify Synthroid rather than the generic, even though Synthroid is considerably more expensive.
Can you take synthroid and prozactogether?
Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. Synthroid is probably taken in the morning, and Tofranil is probably taken at night. Even if both where taken together, that would be okay : there is neither physical or pharmacological interactions between those 2 drugs.
Does anyone take Cytomel along with Synthroid and do you feel this combination is better than Synthroid alone?
I just started taking Cytomel with my Synthroid today. I hope it makes me feel better. I dont have an opinion yet, sorry. GOOD FOR YOU, BUT WE REALLY DON'T CARE UNTIL YOU HAVE AN OPINION......
What happens if you take synthroid and don't need it?
I have been tired all my life and just recently my TSH was .5 over normal. The dr put me on synthroid and I felt more tired.
When will Paxil go generic?
Paxil has been generic, its called paroxetine. Just because a drug is generic does NOT make it cheap by any means, just cheaper than the name brand.
If you miss 5 pills of trinessa which is generic for orthotricyclen and then start taking them again and on the fourth day of taking them again you have sex should you be worried about being pregnant?
anytime you miss just one pill the whole purpose of taking birth control is jeopardized....maybe you will be fine
Does your metabolism work normal if you have no thyroid but take synthroid?
Yes, although "normal" is a difficult word to characterize. Synthroid is emulating the normal function of the thyroid so once you are on the optimal dosage of Synthroid it should do exactly what your thyroid was doing before it was removed. Remember that theendocrinology is just one part of metabolism, there is also a significant number of chemical reactions associated with the nervous system.
Can you drink alcohol while taking Synthroid and Coumadin?
You can, but alcohol is likely to impair the T4 to T3 conversion process which is essential in gaining any benefit from this medicine. Research on alcoholics showed that T4 was more likely to convert to rT3 (the inactive form of the hormone) than T3, but when they stopped drinking alcohol, over 60% more of the T4 converted properly.
Is there a generic form of prempro?
My doctor said a generic is just out.... and gave me a prescription for Estra/Noreth Tab 1-0.5 mg Package says generic equiv of activella tab. THIS WAS THE ANSWER I RECEIVED FOR A "GENERIC FOR PRIMPRO". THERE IS NOTHING ON WEBMD FOR EITHER NAME MENTIONED.
What is Razzmatazz that is in a cocktail?

Is there any effect from taking expired synthroid?
There would be no adverse affects other than it may not be as potent as it was when it was manufactured. Expiration dates are general. A drug is not potent one day and decreased the next just because that is the expiration date. The date simply means that the company that manufactured the drug will not guarantee its' potency after that date. Hope this helps.
