Dr. Barnes' book is called Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness. There's some other good ones out there, too (Stephen Langer wrote Solved: The Riddle of Illness)....
A pdoc told me that it takes a few weeks for the receptors to completely return to normal after taking the SSRI's. I took a very low dose for only three months. I got some strong reactions in withdrawal and I still am not up to speed quite yet. But, I think some people are just more sensitive than others.
I also have fibromyalgia symptoms - which is also more common in people with depression/anxiety. Not sure if that's an issue with you - but if you have body aches with your tiredness, it may be worth looking into.
Overall, I've learned that I have to take very good care of myself.
