Struggling with Hypothyroidism: Need Advice

AMEN🤣

I am going through the same thing even though I was very active in the past

thank you guys (: i have a hard time taking medicine because of my ocd but hearing that it’s been really positive for others helps a lot. i talked to my doctor today about getting my meds refilled, and i’m hoping for the best

Hypothyroidism causes low energy slow metabolism and depression among many other conditions so what you’re going through is totally normal. I expect the problem is you aren’t taking it often enough or aren’t on enough of it. I have to take medications for both because it only produces one hormone instead of all 3. Definitely talk to your doctor because the excessive tiredness and the impossible weight loss all changed after I had been on both of the hormones for about a year. Now I have way more energy (enough to realize I also have adhd at 21) and im finally able to lose weight.

But hypothyroidism is annoying. That and depression don't mix well with sleep

Yeah that could be the problem. I'm right along with you on that. My twin did say it could make you sleepy. Your body has to get used to it.

thank you! i think it’s because i don’t take my synthroid consistently. i think the hypothyroidism is what’s making me so tired honestly

What dosage? I take off brand and am at the lowest dose of 25. It doesn't make me tired. I have other medications that do that. Maybe drink more water or talk to your doctor about lowering your dose. Everyone's body reacts differently. I have insomnia, so I'll wake up, take it, and go back to sleep until my alarm goes off. But my twin is on 75 about to be 100 bc her thyroid just doesn't work well at all. I hope this helps. I never hear her say it makes her tired. It did give me a headache when I first started
