What Causes Tiredness And Hair Fall In Spite Of Thyroid Medication?
Hi, I am 24 and female. I have had a thyroid problem since I was 17 and taking Thyroxin 125mg a day.
Over the past few months I am feeling more tired, weak, hair falling out and keeps getting worst.
I had a blood test done 4 months ago and was told everything is looking good.
Im going to get another one done but still not sure whats happening.
I have taken mdma twice in the last 4 months, could this be a contributer

Hi dear
The symptoms like feeling tired,weak and hair loss are symptoms of hypothyroidism.My advice is to repeat the thyroid tests(TSH,free T3 and free T4 ) to understand the actual thyroid function and to make the necessary dose adjustment of Thyroxin (if necessary).
MDMA or extasy is a drug ho can produce effects like feelings of mental stimulation, empathy toward others, a general sense of well being, and decreased anxiety.In very rare cases it can cause letargy and a strong fatigue.In my opinion the principal cause of you symptoms is the low function of the thyroid gland.
I suggest to meet an endocrinologist in your area for the necessary thyroid test and the dose adjustment of thyroxine.(if necessary)
Wish you good health.
