Hello!
The increase of weight can be observed at a depression of function of a thyroid gland, but is not connected with purpose or appointment L-thyroxine.
By-effects, as a rule, happen at too fast rising doses in the beginning of course of treatment or at application of high doses. Probably:
- Palpitation
- A tremor (a shiver in arms or hand, feeling of " an internal shiver ")
- Disturbance of a dream
- A liquid chair.

Yours faithfully, doctor-endocrinologist Mitin Irina Alekseevna.
