Before you do anything about the medicine, check with the pharmacy and see what the co-pay will be for the synthroid. Where I live (Kentucky), I use Kroger for my pharmacy. (Also, not trying to be a stalker, I checked and you have a Kroger in your town which I found on wikipedia.) I also take levothyroxine and have for years. Kroger has a low-cost generic prescription list where some drugs are $4 for a 30 day supply or $10 for a 90 day supply. Levothyroxine is on that list, so if your co-pay for the synthroid is more than $4 or $10 then stick with the levothyroxine. You can see what else is on the list if you go to www dot Kroger dot com and click the My Prescriptions link below the logo then the $4/$10 Generics link on the left of the page. Hope this helps.
