What's YOUR opinion of Synthroid, for Hypothyroidism?My doctor diagnosed me with Hypothyroidism and prescribed Synthroid but...I HATE DRUGS and their side effects!! Synthroid's website says that you CANNOT ever get off of it or it can cause infertility, problems during pregnancy and heart disease...anyone know of anything NATURAL/HERBAL I can take instead??

I took it for 3 months and had a horrible reaction, went to the ER and it took months to recover from it. I stopped taking it. So now I made big changes in my diet, exercise and used all-natural progesterone. My symptoms totally reversed.
I'm no doctor and I don't know what your blood tests revealed, so I'm only telling you my own experience.

Because of low thyroid function I was cold all the time, had dry flaky skin, and could not lose any weight even with a strict diet and exercise.I have been taking thyroid boosting supplements for about 2 months now. My skin is not nearly as bad than usual.
