I was diagnoses with hypothyroidism about 15 years ago and have been prescribed medication ever since. I find that in my case, the medication doesn't really do anything for my weight. It actually helps me stay awake. By that I mean that along with weight gain and feeling cold, I was VERY listless allll the time. Now, while on this medication, I have more energy and don't need as much sleep as I once did. I don't find there are any side effects.

I went to the doctor about five years ago for my annual check up, and during a blood test, she found out that I had a thyroid deficiency (hypothyroidism) and immediately put me on this medication. I had not realized that some of the symptoms I had been experiencing (always cold, tired, weight gain) were indicative of hypothyroidism. She tweaked the dosage once or twice, but so far, this dosage seems to work for me and keeps my TSH in check. No side effects and I finally remember to take it each morning. Luckily it is inexpensive and is an easy medication to use. I just have to remember not to eat or drink anything for an hour.
