I didn't have a zoloft/thyroid issue like yours, but I did have an issue come up because I was working with a GP before I finally got with a pdoc. Within the experience and knowledge of what my very excellent GP knew, he still didn't know enough for treating anything more than an acute case of a mood disruption.

Have you contacted your GP about this? If you haven't, do not wait. Talk to him about what you are going through and if he doesn't have a very specific explanation for how you feel (such as the side efects you are feeling should be expected for a few days-weeks) and a solid reason why he took you off the thyroid med then be forceful about going back on the thyroxine and setting up a consult with a specialist. Stabilize your situation, then look for more expert information.

Like I said, my GP is a fabulous doctor. He just didn't know enough about treatment-resistant depressions like mine. If I had been a little more aggresive about my own treatment when things started going screwy, I would have saved myself four months of extreme grief.
