Synthroid is a common medication for underactive thyroid. It may take awhile to find the dose that works best for you. This medicine can cause hunger and you may feel hyper but with time these symptoms can even out.

They will give you medicine which will try to mimic the natural thyroid hormone in your body. There are natural thyroid medications such as armour thyroid and there are also synthetic products such as levothyroxine.
