Stargazer even though you may now have an answer to part of the problem why are they upping the med in two days as it takes six weeks to show a real change. I'm sure if it was at an endos they did the hasimotos thyroiditis tests as also they must have checked for Graves which is overactive. With thyroid meds you will feel better when the level is between land 3 the optimal new ranges for today. But you will still require meds. Just as my neice takes zoloft with hers and funny as saw my pdoc two days ago and we talked about thyroid again and she says it really messes up the mind with depression or anxiety or both. And more psych patients do have thyroid problems. Don't get upset at the word autoimmune as most thyroid disorders are autoimmune. It's not scarey doesn't mean you have any other autoimmune diseases I've been checked for most all negative. So glad you found out as when I was exactly your age mine started . About 6 days after starting 25mcg felt like my ears popped open like a cold and I was at work and instantly felt better. Must take on an empty stomach as I'm sure you know. There are a lot of thyroid forums too. Love Phillipa
