Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss And Sleeping Disorder
I want to switch to Tirosant. I was on Levothroid and loved it but it was recalled. My last TSH was 4.560, I am gaining weight, cant remember nothing, cant sleep through the nite and my hair is thinning. I am 59yrs 302 lbs had thyroidectomy in 1980 was on Synthroid (hated it ) Levothyroxin (hated it) and tried Armour which I liked but it made my throat hurt on 90 mgs then dropped to 60 mgs. Put back on Levothyroxin and feel terrible. Will Tirosant be a good move for me?

Hello,
I assume you mean Tirosint, I am not aware of any Tirosant brand. Tirosint is used for the same purpose as Levothroid so yes it is an appropriate substitute. Of course, the main ingredient is the same, levothyroxine, but Tirosint is supposed to contain fewer additives so it might be better tolerated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
