What Causes Excessive Sweating While On Levothyroxine?
I am on Levrothyroxine, 100MIcrograms..I have excessive sweaing aroung my head when I am stressed, or when I am doing normal things like sweeping the floor. Been to Endocribnoligist, who sees nothing wrong, but I also have extreme fatigue. I can sleep 8 or 9 hours and still need more. I cannot lose weight no matter what I eat, and how much exercise I get. Help

Hi,
You will have to understand that sweating is one of the major sides of taking levothyroxine.
And if sweating is excessive then you should talk to your doctor for reducing the dose of levothyroxine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
