I think normal TSH is .6-5.5. So I am well within normal range.I stopped the Li last night after titrating down, and I feel horrible. So depressed (teary and all I want to do is sleep) and unstable. But my hair pain is slightly better. Better hair, worse mood.
My dad was saying I should try Vioxx or some med to stop the pain on my scalp instead of d/c the Li. But I can't get a hold of my pdoc. And I don't want to add anymore meds. Especailly when I haven't found things like Aleve very helpful.
I think increasing the neurontin has helped a little with the nerve pain, thouogh. I find I am sleeping better and not waking up to my aching hair follicles...BTW, I take a B complex, E, multivit, and 3g fish oil for my head and hair! That is what's left of my thinning hair :(
Glad you got your Wellbutrin and having relative success with it so far.
