Can Levoxyl cause memory loss?
- Q: What are factors that can cause memory loss? I'm not taking any prescription drugs now. I was on Levoxyl but was afraid it was causing my memory loss, so I stopped taking it three months ago.
- A: There are quite a few things that can cause memory loss. However, I have to warn you about going off your thyroid medication. That can cause serious side effects. Please let your prescriber know as soon as you can that you have stopped taking this medication and find out whether he or she wants you to start back up. The thyroid is an important component in almost all of the body's processes. As far as memory loss goes, things that typically contribute to it include stress, lack of sleep, change in diet (usually taking in fewer calories), and depression or anxiety. Please review these signs and symptoms with your physician, and please talk to him or her about starting back up on your thyroid medication. Matt Curley, PharmD
