Brief Answer:
You are probably under treated but....!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query
I am so sorry too hear that you are feeling tired and depressed. This is truly unfortunate that after manipulating your medications, you seem not to be receiving enough to make you feel good.
The laboratory results for real suggested that you were receiving more than enough. It was certainly the right decision to drop the dosage and monitor your symptoms and the
TSH levels. However, I have a strong suspicion that
synthroid seems not to be working great for you.
My suggestion would be to control the TSH levels again. If they suggest under medication, I will recommend that you doctor preferentially go with
cytomel to treat you and monitor again. If the levels show that you are being well treated, then I will suggest that another cause for this
fatigue and
tiredness should be investigated. We may be so attached to
hypothyroidism as the only possible cause forgetting there are many other conditions including
depression that can explain this
I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
