Hello all,

I have not posted in a while. Hopefully everyone is well.

I have a question about thryroid medication. My doctor prescribed 25 mcg of Levoxyl about 2 months ago and my insurance company provided the generic Levothyroxine. Next RX, the mail order pharmacy sent me a letter saying they are going to provide another generic at the next refill.

My concern is that I have not stabilized on a final dosage. I get a blood test this week and I believe the doctor will increase my dosage. Hopefully an increased dosage of thyroid medication will eliminate the drowsiness I seem to be experiencing. Does anyone have experience with switching between generics? Should I be concerned about this? Is it important that I be referred to an Endocrinologist or is my Primary Care Doctor enough to get me stabilized on this medication? Finally, should I just do the tests and let the system work?

I know that I can come here and get straight and sound advice.

Thanks,
