My son is starting this med soon.. he has blood tests for another health issue that shows abnormal thyroid function and even though he is displaying no thyroid related symptoms. He does get tired but he has late nights / typical
teen so not sure there is a link.

they want to try him on 25mg to start - he is early stages of puberty so feel it's necessary then Check his bloods regularly.

its not autoimmune as had that tested.

abyone else's child taken this?

No but if he is 8 to 10 years old this is when I put on a lot of weight and it was only in my thirties when I nearly lost my child in pregnancy that they diagnosed hypothyroidism. I do have Hashimotos though so not sure if this is relevant to age or pregnancy. However, my family believe my thyroid failed at 8 but was never tested.
