Watch for hypo symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, constipation) or hyper symptoms (anxiety, rapid pulse, weight loss, tremors, heat intolerance). Get thyroid levels (TSH, free T4) rechecked 6-8 weeks after starting or stopping the combination. When to seek emergency help: Chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeat, high fever with confusion, or severe swelling of the neck.
