Does this sound strange to you? The dr said whether the thyroid is hyper or hypo, the med is the same: levothyroxine.

It doesn't sound right - and a web search bears that out.

@ButterRobot I took myself off it because I was getting too many side effects and they keep refusing to let me get the t3 and t4 levels tested. They keep saying they only deal with common medical problems and not 'rare diseases.'

@purplepen it supposed to be incredibly safe - are you hyper or hypo ?

@ButterRobot Mine has been up and down so that's why I wanted them to check the t3 and t4. My t3 and t4 levels were extremely high a few years ago at a hospital lab, but I didnt have a dr at yhe time so the head of the lab said there was nothing they could do. Recently the levothyroxine messed me up and the drs didn't want to monitor things properly, so I went off it.
