"Post partial thyroidectomy due to a large benign nodule. Started on 50mcg of Unithroid. First few days were fine, took only 6 doses. Started having severe anxiety, restlessness, high blood pressure, high heart rate. Started at a TSH of 4.1, with 6 days of taking medicine TSH dropped to 2.4. Will not take any more! Feeling like I was over medicated."

"Unithroid is first FDA approved thyroid meds. I noticed when my mother took this over synthroid she was more alert. I have been on it 20 years. No problem."

"I was on generic Levothyroxine for just about under a year or so. At first it was ok. Then when I recently went to get my refill the pills had a very strong odor. It's hard to describe. Like a strange mix between a chemical smell and dirty feet. Makes you want to gag when taking them. I learned about Unithroid from a family member and asked my doctor to change me to Unithroid. It is really reasonable ($) like the generic but Unithroid has no nasty smell. I also just found out that it is made in the USA so that's cool. I am happy about switching over."
