Hello sir,I understand your concern.In my opinion it might be hypothyroidism not hyperthyroidism.Eltroxin is prescribed in hypothyroidism.If she is sick and dull I suggest you to see if thyroid is under control or not.Yearly evaluation is necessary always .Also check for any stress if she is facing .And avoid the stress .
