Hi
Are Depression, Chronic pain and Aggression related to too low a dose of thyroid meds?
I've taken thyroid meds since about 2-1/2 to 3 mos. old. As of 2-1/2 years ago, My emotions went bum over tea-kettle and I've had to take Cymbalta since about Jan. of 08.
This year, my GP insisted on jacking with my dosage of Synthroid, changed it to Levothyroxin and lowered the dose. I have become (even with the Cymbalta), quarrelous, depressed (not to the extreme that I had been before-suicidal) and ready to b**ch slap a drill sgt. for the heck of it.
I've gained over 30 lbs. which, being disabled, I am not physically able to do all that much, so I work around in the house and we don't buy junk food. I was taken from 2 and .025 to 150mcg. The Dr. doesn't want to think he was wrong in lowering my dose. I have absolutely no energy and don't care if I do . God help those who catch me when I'm out of the Cymbalta, But he won't reinstate me back to the dose that I had energy and didn't shake like a dog passing peach pitts!!! Help?
