What Causes Weight Gain, Loose Stools, Vaginal Itching And Insomnia?

I have been taking levothyroxin for almost 3 months. I gained 5 lbs, was retaining water (not anymore), have very loose stools and vaginal itching - not a yeast infection, and insomnia. My mood is better and I have a little more energy. I am taking a low dose. Is my dose too hight?

No need to worry.
Levothyroxine does not cause any of these symptoms.
Continue the same dose of levothyroxine.
Repeat your thyroid test now to see the response of treatment with levothyroxine.
Your symptoms will resolve.
