Have you experienced weight gain from synthroid (levothyroxine)?

Content: Any increase in appetite, regardless of whether small or large, will increase the likelihood that you’ll consume more food (and calories throughout the day). The more food that you consume throughout the day, the more likely you’ll be to gain weight. Bloating: A side effect that synthroid users report is stomach bloating characterized by heightened build-up of fluid and/or gas. If you feel bloated while taking synthroid, you’re certainly not alone. Some people report such severe bloating, that they appear as if they’re pregnant. It may be necessary to consider that the extra weight retained as a result of bloating may be perceived as minor weight gain. Constipation: In addition to bloating, some individuals note that synthroid induces constipation. If you find it difficult to pass a bowel movement, some of the increased weight that you notice may be a result of your constipation.
