Girlfriend's very aggressive. Thyroid issues or not?

[ignitecivic]

I am not sure I am on the right thread. Have not been on this site for a while. My girlfriend's had greave's disease and went through RAI about 8 years ago. She been stable on Armour and Cytomel and 50mg Zoloft. But recently about 4 months ago, she have been very aggressive and breaking stuff and slamming doors. She gets stress out so quick too. I am thinking she might happen to be too high on her meds. She is taking 75mg Armour and 5 mg cytomel.

Any input with be greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for the response guys. I think she was telling the doctor she is gets tired mid day so he end up giving up 5 mg to help out. I think you guys are right. Seem been pretty aggressive lately.

The doctor gave her mg of what? to help out?

Sorry, that should have been "5 mg of what? to help out?"

Her Free T4 and Free T3 levels could be too high, but she could also have too high levels of testosterone, which will make women very aggressive.  She should get thyroid levels (Free T4 and Free T3) tested, along with testosterone, DHEA and cortisol levels.

Why is she taking additional cytomel, along with Armour, since Armour already has a lot of T3 in it?

Probably hyperthyroid symptom, need to checkout Free T4, Free T3 and TSH values.
