LEVO-T  (LEVOTHYROXINE SODIUM):  Levothyroxine is used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). It replaces or provides more thyroid hormone, which is normally produced by the thyroid gland. Low thyroid hormone levels can occur naturally or when the thyroid gland is injured by radiation/medications or removed by surgery. Having enough thyroid hormone is important for maintaining normal mental and physical activity. In children, having enough thyroid hormone is important for normal mental and physical development. This medication is also used to treat other types of thyroid disorders (such as certain types of goiters, thyroid cancer). This medication should not be used to treat infertility unless it is caused by low thyroid hormone levels.   FDA Approval Date: 2002-03-01 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  Underactive thyroid I had been taking Levothyroxine for about 10 years. Started with 25 MG, was advanced to 75 MG. Upon moving, I misplaced the meds for months. Upon going back on 75 MG from 0 MG, I developed Tinnitus around the clock. That was 4 years ago. I asked Dr to prescribe natural Armour type (Thyroid brand). I took for 4 years - still had Tinnitus. Recently, for some reason, Dr prescribed Levo for me again (50 MG). Sometimes I think the Tinnitus is worse, and my hair is starting to fall out. I am looking for natural (no meds) solution - FIND THE CAUSE - NO BANDAIDS ON THE PROBLEM, PLEASE! Went for a hearing test, and the Tech showed me a full page list of meds that could cause Tinnitus and hearing loss. Levo was not on it, but I am still convinced it caused the T because of the timing. F 85 15 years
