Hi Tracy,
I don't personally have any helpful knowledge about the thyroid, but I have 2 suggestions. We have someone here named Noa who really is an expert on the subject (or at least extremely knowledgable) and you might post directly to her. She's a great person and very helpful. And while you're waiting for an answer, you might look at the following location for some real good stuff about it. http://www.egroups.com/links/psycho-babble-tips
I hope you get somew answers real soon and my thoughts are with you.

> Ok so I am fatigued, sleep somewhere between 10-16 hours a day; zone off at my desk; feel like I am moving in slow-mo. Achey. Urinate non-stop. Up several times a night b/c of this latter issue. Forgetful -- like midsentence I can't remember what I was saying.. Can't concentrate -- which is a major problem with my first year of law school starting next week. I Lost 40lbs two years ago, went on celexa for depression, gained it all back and thensome (was on Meridia, and had to exercise 1.5 hours a day to get it off). Binge eating. Went on Wellbutrin to combat fatigue. Off celexa and wellbutrin, now on Effexor xr 150mg.
