Struggling with Thyroid Medication

hey y'all, newly diagnosed, struggling with medications. When I started taking levothyroxine I had hives and severe stomach pain, then when they put me on the name brand I started having bouts of vertigo. Endo says it's not the meds but who just randomly gets hives and vertigo?? idk, I've stopped taking either to see if the vertigo goes away.

Thyroid medication is just correcting a chemical you already have so it shouldn’t cause any side effects, it sounds like you could be somehow allergic to one of the inactive ingredients?

I was on levothyroxine when I first got diagnosed and it didn't work well with me either. Keep checking bloodwork everytime you just medication. I'm on np thyroid now and it works great

New research is finding that most thyroid conditions start from the pituitary glad. Have your ending check yours
