For the past 2 1/2 yrs my life has been a living hell because of multi-nodular goiter. first i was hyper thyroidism then they put me on synthroid to shrink the tumors, which in to say the least has made me nothing short of crazy, no energy and dingy. I have always been a hyper person, never lazy. The last straw was when doc tried me on effexor for 3 months and i gained 16lbs so i stopped it. It made me sick so i had to go back and cut the dosage in 1/2 in a week i was fine, except now i am fat and my clothes are TIGHT!!! seems like these AD just make everything worse.i went to the yearly appt with the Endo Dr and i just got my blood test results back and for once my TSH, t3, t4 are at a normal range. Well does any one know....since i have been on every AD for this, what is the point of continuing taking med, (i am on 60mg of ritalin and 300mgs of WB)when nothing has really helped. if i am better should i stop taking my medicine? doesnt seem like i need it if everything is fine, even though i still feel the same crazy, angry for no reason @all, tired well ya all know. I have Celexa the dr wanted me to start this med. and after reading about here again this is ridiculous. Hair loss, weight gain...what a joke. i get depressed just reading about the side effects. Anyone have any ideas? my doc doesnt seem to have a clue...seems like i have learned more from you guys here than he knows HELP.
