Levothyroxine & nausea

Hi, I had RAI last March and shortly afterwards started Thyroxine treatment, finally settled out to 150 Micro Grammes a day about November time. My question is has anyone else suffered with nausea, not actually vomitting just a 'gentle' nausea nearly all day. It started when I settled down to 150MGs a day. I don't get it every day but more or less.
In anticipation, thanks for your replies Barry Posted on 03/09/09, 11:03 am |

If that's the name of your drug, Thyroxine, then you should look up the manufacturer's website for side effects, or pharmasist, or your Dr.
