- No, I have been on thyroid meds for decades...maybe you need a thyroid check and an adjustment or maybe you need to drink more water and eat less sodium...
- It's a bit scary that you are finding that you need to ask medical questions through the web. I assume that you don't have health insurance, and thus want to avoid another visit to the doctor. Thyroid hormone medication does NOT cause side effects if you take the correct dose. You should definitely talk to your doctor to adjust your medication since you are having these symptoms. Your treatment regime should last a few months in total.
