Kitty, Not sure I mentioned this to you previously. I am hypothroid and take Synthroid. Originally, I was taking the generic you are taking . I had read on the internet an article about NOT taking a generic for Hypothroid. Only Synthroid should be used because the generic does not measure up to the Synthroid.

I have my blood tested every 4 -5 months for my thyroid. The doctor was going to increase my dose because my test indicated a higher dose was needed. I asked him to check the box on the prescription that DO Not Substitute and let's see if the same dose with the Synthroid would make a difference. After taking the Synthroid for 3 months, he had me take another blood test. Same dose; but not a generic, my throid was within range. Ask your doctor to prescribe the Synthroid instead of the generic and even if you are taking the same dose - It Does Make a Difference. This meant that the Synthroid was actually giving more of the needed hormones than the same mg's of a generic.
