I did not experience any weight loss being on 112 mcg of Synthroid daily. I had to have my thyroid killed off with radioactive iodine due to thyroid nodules and out-of-control hyperthyroidism. I very quickly became hypothyroid in like two months. I started out on 25 mcg slowly working up to 112 mcg, which I now take daily for about 7 months now. But, not everyone experiences the reversal of weight gain after starting medication. I also developed an intolerance to gluten on top of it. I had three major health issues in about 18 months which triggered the intolerance. So that resulted in my having to totally change my diet. I have been on a diet, eating healthy food, watching my intake of calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium and sugar and working out 5-6 days a week for the last almost 5 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. Medication didn''t do it for me. I have to do it myself,

I''ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since June and I took 50mcg now I take 75 mcg. I have not had any weight loss from taking my medication. Should I consult my doctor about this or does it take a really long time till the weight loss begins? Thanks
