Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Hi , Can you help us all out with more info ? You are taking .3 of what medication ? Are you saying you are still taking it and have gone from hypo to hyper and back to hypo while taking the same med. at the same dose ? If so might be time to switch meds. Please give us some more info so we can help more effectively including thyroid test results ie: T3,T4,freeT4,RT3,T3 uptake,TSH, thyroid antibody test.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Wow, Santee, CA- Do you remember a Machurek? That is our best friend. I am taking syntroid. I was negligent in taking my meds and my TSH was -150 that is when the dr. mega dosed me at a .3 of syntroid for 4 months. I then became hyperthyroid for a few months this summer. When the dr told me I was taking too much thryoid and they needed to down me some I took only days I would remember to take them.......knowing I was hyper I thought I wouldn't need all of the pills. Now I am back down to hypo thyroid....and trying to lose weight.... yet again. tk200192071 <tk2001@...> wrote: Hi ,Can you help us all out with more info ? You are taking .3 of what medication ?

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Well I weigh in at 250..course I don't look my weight (I guess we all think that right?) hehehe I have had a membership at a gym-but never went, NOW I plan on going. I will have to ask my dr. about your prescription. My sister swears on paxil, but for me it makes me yawn...all day. I started taking it at night and it just makes me not want to get up in the morning. <bookers1@...> wrote: Does anyone in the group take antidepressants to help with the "depressing" side of hypothyroidism? , I take Effexor XR and I take it in the evening, as opposed to the morning. Have you tried taking your meds in the evening? All the nasty side effects get slept off that way. I would love to lose some weight this year. I feel like I am trapped in a 60 lb. fat suit. =( love in Ca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 , Are you still taking you synthroid and how much ? It is inadvisable to skip doses, it will mess up your body and can cause more symptoms like depression etc. I would suggest that you get back to your doctor and change your prescription. But first do some research here and on the net so you can learn how to help yourself - the doctors usually can't without your guidence. The name sounds familiar but I am an L.A. transplant.
