I agree with gimel - please post your most recent lab results, along with the reference ranges from your lab report, since these vary from lab to lab.  That will help us see just where your levels are.

Keep in mind that being hypo can also cause depression, the weight gain/inability to lose, etc.  If, even your doctor says "low normal" - that probably means you are under medicated. What med/dosage are you on?

celexa can make you very sleepy and tired. maybe you need another anti-depressant? or maybe none at all.

Believe me, the so-called normal ranges are so broad that you can go from being hypo to hyper while staying within the range.  If you will please post the actual results and reference ranges shown on the lab report members will be happy to assess and advise further.
