Rather strangle that Levothyroxine has reported as one its side effects an increased appetite, along with weight loss, weight gain was not reprted. However, if you do think it could be one of its rare side effects, do please ask your doc to change your med. Please do take care, best wishes! Votes: +1

I am 63 and on 88mcg of Levothyroxine. I am finding it hard to lose weight too, despite exercising and diet. I lost 20 lbs on WW in 2009 b/4 being on the pills, and put on weight only after I started taking thyroid pills. You'd think I would have LOST, not gained, weight. In the past 4 mos. or so I didn't step on the scale until New Year's Day.
