Im 47 years old I have been taking one thyroxin a day for 8 months. I get very vague and find it stressful to concentrate.Could this be caused by my medication.
Hi,
Thyroxine is used for under active thyroid, so I presume that you are having this problem. This medication has many side effects and I have to tell you that bad concentration is one of them. I will list you few more just in case you have them as well: hair loss, tiredness, diarrhea, shaking, headache, shortness of breath, mood swings and increased sweating. Have you experienced any of these side effects as well?
If this is getting to hard for you, try to talk to your doctor. You may be able to change de dose or to get a prescription to another drug that will be more suitable for you. Have you had any allergic reaction?
I hope this helped.
