I have experienced swelling under my eyes, it seems to not be as bad since I've had awhile to build up to the synthroid. Plus, my hair/skin isn't so dry and don't feel like a walking zombie (horribly fatigued before). If you're experiencing depression, it should start to get better after being on treatment. It will take probably 6 weeks at least to start noticing a difference. You'll feel SO much better though...just hang in there.
