Hi,

Tingling sensation, dizziness, tremor, nervousness, stomach cramps, weight loss, weakness, diarrhoea are side effects of Synthroid. Consult your treating PCP for the doses of the medication.

Take exactly the dosage prescribed. Report the PCP about the side effects you are experiencing & all the other medications that you might be taking; so that the medication can be altered or dosage monitored.

In the meantime take adequate water, plenty of sleep, stay away from addictions & take nutritious homemade food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
