Am I Having Side Effects Of Levothyroxine?

Wondering why after taking levothyroxine for almost 2 years with no issues, that within the last 4 months, it seems that all I can smell is a metal. Like aluminum? I had not taken it for about a week as I had ran out, and it went away? Is this a know side effect? Thank you!

Hello,

Yes, metallic taste and smell found among people who take Levothyroxine sodium. Talk with your endocrinologist about an alternative medication.
