General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thank you for posting!

I read your query very carefully and I understand your concerns.

The main cause of your symptoms is hypothyroidism. Anti-epileptic drugs can cause such symptoms as they have a lot of side effects.
You can relieve your symptoms by treating hypothyroidism. Also, if you take anti epileptic drugs, you should contact your endocrinologist to discuss about the dosage.

I hope I helped you.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
