I was originally started on synthroid and appeared to be doing OK and then switched over to levothyroxine (75 mcgs). My symptoms have been awful...panic attacks, crushing depression, dry skin, joint pain, exhausted, not wanting to leave the house, feel like fainting, dizzy, weepy. I have told my Dr. all of this and she says it is not attributed to thyroid med. She put me on paxil and sent me to a therapist. I am usually a pretty upbeat person and this is very scary for me. Has anyone ever stopped the meds and felt better or is that very risky??
