enlarged thyroid

[Ruthsmith]

I have been on thyroid meds a year now liothyronine sod 100 mcg I'm still tired all the time and I shack off and on feel sick and sometimes I have diarrhea haven't lost any weight I feel like I'm getting worse Dr. tells me  it take time for my body to adjust to meds. once I had to go to emergency room and they said it was my tsh is 0.0 to tell my doctor he still hasn't done anything should I get a second opion

Liothyronine is T3 -- this is a very high dose and would cause diarrhea and fatigue.  Would see an endocrinologist and ask your doctor why you are on T3 and not T4 (levothyroxine).
