I assume you are taking the Synthroid for Hypothyroidism, and I hope you meant that you were taking 200 mCg a day, as that is the highest you can get in 1 pill. I have been taking 400mcg (2 pills) for almost 15 years. For the 1st 5 years I was always messed up. THat is because I never saw an endocrynologist. My family doc never told me some of the VITAL facts of this medicine. I suggest, if you have that serious of a thyroid malfunction, you see a specialist. Also, (as they will tell you) you must take the pill at teh same time everyday. You should NOT eat with the pill, and you should not eat until atl least 2 hours later. You should read the label of any other meds that you are taking as there are many that have contradictions w/the Synthroid. I have been dealing with Thyroid disease most of my life, it is a pain in my butt. I have learned that if I don't take my pills just right, Ican literally gain 10 lbs in a week. If you are not feeling any better since starting them... perhaps you are not taking them correctly. About the other meds you mentioned, I suggest you read up about the interactions with Synthroid. (Even if your doctor say they are OK) I had a Dr put me on anti depressants knowing full well that I took Synthroid, later I found out that you are never to mix the 2. Do your own research! You can get tons of info on the web.

I could be wrong but I don't think you should be taking Bromo and Phen together.
Also - your GYN gave you PHEN?
How long have you been on the the Bromo?

Docs don't always make the best decisions about drugs -- sometimes they don't know what else to do except throw more drugs at the problem.

Here's a website you can use yourself for drug contraindications. At least see if there is something to consider w/ this combination.

Move on to Cynomel (t3) start with low doses, tough.

Sicne she has had ongoing medical issues, and has been posting the same question for over a year. She has been under a doctor's care for awhile, and has ongoing hormonal issues and imbalances..... I do not think taking T3 WITHOUT a doctor's okay is in her best interest. Just my opinion.

^^^^ This is the link to the thread she posted in a different forum. Just info....

Anyway, in my opinion, I dont think you should mess with ANYTHING unless you get several doctors OK.

Good luck girly!!!!!

Yes... In addition to the girls' posts... do your OWN research!! My primary doctor was prescribing me Adderral when my charts clearly stated I was a Bipolar patient!! Those two have SERIOUSLY detrimental effects on each other, including suicidal rates risks doubling. So...research....don't trust them. Sad but true!

I am also hypothyroid and I take a natural thyroid medicine which works just fine called Naturthroid. I would really suggest finding a Naturopath in your neighborhood for what you are experiencing. Coconut oil also helps the thyroid.
