Lithium can cause hypothyroidism. It is possible that you may need a higher dose of synthroid in order to maintain healthy levels of thyroid hormones. Taking the two together is safe.
No, you really don't need estrogen blockers if you are taking testosterone as part of replacement therapy or a sex-reassignment program. That said, taking estrogen blockers may help decrease feminization and make the testosterone replacement more effective in the case of sex-reassignment. However, men who take testosterone and/or anabolic steroids for performance enhancement reasons would generally block the aromatase enzyme to prevent testosterone from being converted to estrogen. Excessive amounts of testosterone causes breast growth since the body converts extra testosterone to estrogen. As always, you should never take any sort of prescription medication that is not prescribed to you, and nothing said here should be taken as medical advice.
I am guessing you mean .125 mg of Synthroid and this is the same as 125 micorgrams. This is a common dose. 125 mg is 125,000 micrograms.
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.
you will notice an increase in you masculinity, hair thicker, voice deepens, sweat profusely, appetite for women,
Not in therapeutic doses. However, you need to know that if you are taking oxycodone regularly and in increasing quantities, you are addicted to it. Furthermore, if you were doing so at the same time you were diagnosed as hypothyroid, it is possible that the diagnosis was incorrect.
Yes. Your body only makes testosterone if it needs it. If you take supplemental testosterone, coincidentally your body stops producing natural testosterone, as it doesnt need it anymore. Once you stop taking the testosterone, your body may produce more than it did, but never to the amount that is needed for optimal survival. Testosterone has a lot of uses, and is mostly a male supplement when the male who is using it wants to build muscle mass. Short exposure to supplemental testosterone might have little to no effect, but large doses of testosterone for long periods of time, can and do effect latent testosterone production. That's what many in the medical field are reporting. All medications have unexpected and sometimes unwanted side effects.
yes they show up, as the amount of testosterone is your blood will definitely indicate that you are taking anabolics.
He may need a treatment of testosterone.
Yes, if Synthroid contains Levothyroxine (3,5,3',5'-Tetraiodo-L-thyronine) then there is 4 Iodine atoms per molecule (..Tetraiodo..) in it![You should ask your chemist for confirmation]Wrong answer: No.Levothyroxine (ingredient in Synthroid, Levoxyl, etc...) is T4 which your body would make on its own from iodine and tyrosine if your thyroid were functioning properly. You would most likely not need to supplement with iodine since your body is not making its own thyroid hormone, but relys on T4 from Synthroid.
You can buy testosterone supplements over the counter or online. These don't contain testosterone but rather ingredients that help the natural production of testosterone in the body. They're less harmful than testosterone therapies - you need a doctor for that. Testosterone supplements stimulate the organs that produce testosterone. So your body does not grow dependent on these supplements. You should buy Ageless Male online - it's a natural testosterone supplement containing Testofen-a standardized extract of fenugreek seeds with zinc and vitamin B6.
