What's the best alternative for Synthroid for Hypothryoidism?

Question

I've been hearing a lot of Thyrolar as a safer alternative for Synthroid. I've been having a lot of problems with hair falling out while using Synthroid and I'm only 20 years old. It's bad enough I have a thyroid issue, I don't need to be bald this early in my life. Has anyone else with Hypoactive Thyroidism found a better solution for treatment? What has worked best for you?

Answer 1

Homeopathic Medicines works very well in both Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism, below you will find the symptoms and the head remedies used in Homeopathy to treat Thyroid Disorders please read carefully and I would suggest you consult a good Homeopathic physician in your locality.

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormone is to "run the body's metabolism", it is understandable that people with this condition will have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism.

Hypothyroidism - CAUSE
There are two fairly common causes of hypothyroidism. The first is a result of previous (or currently ongoing) inflammation of the thyroid gland which leaves a large percentage of the cells of the thyroid damaged (or dead) and incapable of producing sufficient hormone. The most common cause of thyroid gland failure is called autoimmune thyroiditis (also called Hashimoto's thyroiditis), a form of thyroid inflammation caused by the patient's own immune system. The second major cause is the broad category of "medical treatments". As noted on a number of our other pages, the treatment of many thyroid conditions warrants surgical removal of a portion or all of the thyroid gland. If the total mass of thyroid producing cells left within the body are not enough to meet the needs of the body, the patient will develop hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism - HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT & Medicines
Homeopathy offers good prognosis to cases of hypothyroidism. Medicines like Calcare phos, Calcarea carb, Lapis alb, Iodium, Thyroidinum, Spongia, Lycopus, Calcarea iod etc are often found indicated in cases of hypothyroidism.
______________________________________

Hyperthyroidism is due to an excess amount of free thyroid hormone. There is a generalized increase in metabolic rate, with an increase in oxygen use.

Hyperthyroidism - SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
The symptoms of hyperthyroidism include heat intolerance, nervousness, increased irritability, palpitations, weight loss with the same or increased food intake, and increased frequency of defecation. Women may have a decreased frequency of menses. Physical findings may include hyperkinesis, warm moist skin, a prominent stare and lid lag. The neurological exam may show a fine tremor and a fast return phase for the deep tendon reflexes. The cardiac exam reveals signs associated with a high cardiac output, including tachycardia, although atrial fibrillation is also common, a prominent S4, and flow murmurs. The thyroid gland may be diffusely enlarged, nodular, or even normal in size. Signs and symptoms may range from very mild to severe. Laboratory tests almost always show a low TSH and a high T3. The total and free T4 are also usually increased.

Answer 4

I would recommend going back to Dr. and showing that hair loss is still persistent. Obviously using Synthroid is not working for you. Testing other medications or making a blend of Synthroid with armour thyroid so that 2% is T3 and 98% is T4. Your doctor will have to go through compounding pharmacy to do this.

Also, there is much, much more you can do for yourself the relying on medication alone. Find out where you are susceptible to things that have been shown to cause thyroid issues and/or hair loss into things to resolve those issues.

The low is a link to articles that have written on hair loss and thyroid problems.

Hope this helps out.

Answer 5

Thyrolar might be a good option for you. It contains both T4 and T3. The downside from what I heard is it has to be refrigerated. Another option is Armour thyroid. It is also T4 and T3. I've been on it for 4 years and doing well. Armour helps symptoms such as fatigue, depression, hairloss, brain fog, and mucle and joint aches. I imagine Thyrolar would do the same thing because of the T3.

Answer 6

Your hair is falling out because you are still hypothyroid. You need to go back to the doctor, get new blood tests, and have your dosage adjusted.
