Synthroid vs L-Thyroxine?

I am one of a certain amount of ppl who can NOT take a generic. Such as the one the mail order prescription company sent u. Also when going from name brand to generic should check with doctor cuz not all switches are ok. Also if you want to make sure that the mail order one sends u something correct make sure your doctor writes on the prescription or types onto the prescription Dispense As Written I think its called. So that the mail order place HAS to give u Synthroid. If they say they called and talked to your Doctor esp if they are Express Script (mail order company) DO NOT believe them. I talked to my doctor after getting the letter about changing and sending me the generic and saying they spoke to my doctor and he gave ok and he said it was TOTALLY false. He never spoke to the company nor got a letter nor did his nurse speak to anyone. And he says its some kind of federal offense for them to send wrong one or rather not give what was written esp if on prescription it said something like dispense as written. Hope helps.

L-Thyroxine is just another generic version of levothyroxine. The new brand should work the same as Synthroid.

You must have started taking it already ... hope it is all going okay.
