"I was on generic Levothyroxine for just about under a year or so. At first, it was okay. 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."

"Post partial thyroidectomy due to a large benign nodule. Started on 50 mcg 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 overmedicated."

"Unithroid is the first FDA-approved thyroid med. I noticed when my mother took this over Synthroid, she was more alert. I have been on it for 20 years. No problem."
