THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT WAY TO REPLY BUT ITS MY FIRST EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME OF BEING ON HERE NOW.  I HAVE BEEN BEING TREATED FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM NOW FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS.  IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE BEEN SWITCHED TO GENERICS.  I NOTICED A RAPID DECLINE IN QUALITY OF LIFE LATELY AND WHEN THEY TESTED MY TSH FRIDAY NITE IT WAS ONCE AGAIN OUT OF WHACK.  THE DR. IMMEDIATELY ORDERED 50 MOR MCG OF LEVOTHYROXIN IF IM GOING TO STAY ON THE GENERIC.  IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL TOXICITY IN A LARGER DOSE GENERICALLY THAN NAME BRAND TO OTHER ORGANS IN THE BODY?  ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS?
