Is There Any Chance Of Side Effects For Synthroid After Taking It For 20 Years?
I have been taking synthroid for many years but lately suspect that I experience daily episodes of dyspepsia.....flatulence, nausea and bloating after taking synthroid. I purposely missed two doses and felt better. Can you develop this side effect after taking synthroid for at least 20 years with no need to increase the dosage since starting the medication? Thanks

Happens.
The thyroid level we need changes over time (slight change; long time). Frequently, people on thyroid medicine eventually over years/decades find the dose needs to be changed. Generally, the subjective feeling is more sensitive than the labs.
