my daughter takes this. some strange side effects, though. swelling in her hands and eyes. i don't see that listed in the side effects, but the doctor said that edema is one of the sides effects. now i see some others that may explain some issues that she has. headaches, swollen lymph nodes, feeling like throwing up. we went to the emergency room for just those problems.

It,s been a wonder drug for me. I quit losing weight, my heart rate is back down to normal, my hair is growing back in ect. I shook so bad I thought I had Parkinsons. No side effects for me. My chronic depression disappeared also. Published: December 23, 2008 ::

I was diagnosed with 2 nodules. Within 2 weeks of starting tapazole I was sleeping much better, had more energy during the day. By three months my TSH level was improved and I was moved up to 10 mg daily. It did show less side effects by splitting the dose half AM / half PM. Now a year later my TSH is very good and I am starting to wean off the medication .... I feel very good. Published: December 27, 2007 ::

I have not experienced any side effects with this medication. I had lost 20 lbs in 5 months, I gained back 11 lbs in 2 months after starting the treatment. Published: January 23, 2008 ::

I started with 20 mgs daily and have been reduced now alternating 5 one day and 2.5 the next. No heart palps and much better sleeping. I have been on this med for 9 months. Published: December 05, 2008 ::

I've been on the medication 6weeks. I don't notice much improvement yet but my doctor said it takes at least 10 weeks. Side effects are nausea, and swelling/tearing of the eyes. I am on 10mg daily. Does make me feel sleepy so I take it at night. Published: October 27, 2008 ::

Well, the dosage I went from, 4 pills per day to two pills per day, to 1 pill per day, to now I'm taking 1/4 of a pill. So far it' worked fined. My unease has been the facct that I have to chop this little pill into fourths. but other than that it's worked great. Published: December 14, 2007 ::

I have been on Tapazole about 2 years now. The benefits of it have outweighed the side effects. I get a little drowsy from it sometimes, but before I started on it, I thought I was going to die of a heart attack! My heart pounded all the time, and I had trouble breathing sometimes. My legs swelled and ached so bad, and my back kept going out to the point where I could not walk for over a week. Since I've been on it, none of that has happened! Published: September 28, 2008 ::
