Hello,
I'm hypothyroid and take 0.075 levothyroxine daily for past 7 years. I have levels checked every six months. I asked my endocrinologist if that was causing my overweight. He said no. You shouldn't be fat. You're taking medication.

My GP is very into holistic natural therapies and she suggested Armour -- the natural one. My endocrinologist is against it because it is very difficult to find the correct dosing, and requires some experimenting and adjusting to get it just right. My GP said since I only take a small amount to stay on synthetic. That's all I know.
