It's not advisable to stop taking generic Synthroid (levothyroxine) and replace it solely with L-tyrosine. Synthroid is a synthetic form of thyroid hormone that is crucial for regulating metabolism and energy levels in individuals with hypothyroidism. L-tyrosine can support thyroid function but does not provide the necessary thyroid hormones needed for proper body function. Always consult a healthcare professional before making any changes to your medication regimen.

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.

Is 100 MCG Synthroid the same as .100 MCG Synthroid?

Yes, 100 MCG Synthroid and .100 MCG Synthroid refer to the same dosage of the medication. The notation ".100" is just an alternative way to express the dosage, emphasizing the decimal point before the number. Both indicate 100 micrograms (MCG) of Synthroid, which is a thyroid hormone replacement medication.

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.
