so tired...

[w4lucy]

DH and I have been TTC for several months now.  I found out my thyroid was out of whack a few weeks ago which could definitely be part of the culprit of us not being able to get pregnant.  (I've had hypothyroid for around 3 years now.)  I've been on my upped dosage of synthroid for almost two weeks now, and last week I started getting some weird symptoms...

I started having dizzy spells, extreme exhaustion, shortness of breath, and now these intense throbbing cramps in my legs.  Today I've been so lethargic that I've felt like I am drugged up on meds.  I just feel as if all of my energy has been zapped completely out of me.  I've experienced exhaustion before from my thyroid being messed up, but never anything like this.  Also, since they upped my medicine, this is definitely the opposite reaction I should be having.

Any ideas on what's going on or what I can do?  I just feel miserable...

This is so odd! My name is Lucy and I just got finished with test to see why I am so tired!!!!! thyroid is ok though. they put me on effexor xr. The doc. said it might put some fire under my tale. I don't have the energy of a slug half the time. No get up and go about me. I get my work done in the morning and about 1 or 2 ALL my energy is gone. I find myself living off coffee. I hope someone can help you more. Is your name really Lucy? I have NEVER met another Lucy!!

I was on 75mcg and they bumped it up to 175.  Typically when they up your dosage it makes you feel more active, not more sluggish, so that's why I'm confused at the suddeen onset of exhaustion all the time.
