Hello,
Im a 26 year old male that felt depressed, disconnected from the world (derealization), tired and was worried about pretty much everything. This went on for years, in waves, but the last weeks (before seeking help) it went really bad.
So, I went to the doctor. My THS was 7.2, two weeks later it was the same. Everything else was good; T3, T4 and no signs of haschimotos. Started with levothyroxine 0,50 and later raised to 0.75 (two weeks). I felt better but still got this feelings that things weren't real, that something was off, like I was disconnected from the world, and apathy. So we raised the dose again, from 0,50-,075 - 1. (total time on medicine= 4 weeks). After two days I was a wreck. Disconnected, apathy, depressed, no meaning with anything. So I stopped taking the meds and now im more tired than ever before. I thought that I were extremely tired before this, and that was nothing in comparison with this. But the feelings of unreal is gone, so that's good :)
So, im in a dilemma. Should i start taking the meds again or not? The thing is im not sure i am hypo, Im thinking that I maybe have tired adrenals or something like that. Sure, I was feeling unreal, apathy and a little bit dizzy. But I didn't have any problems with losing or gaining weight. About 2-3 months ago I lost 8 kg with hard training, and when I stopped training I gained 3-4 kg. Also, I wasn't always tired and didn't always have the unreal feelings. It was up and down.
So could it be adrenal fatigue, what do you think?
Also, this extreme fatigue I feel know (two days after stopping taking the meds) could that be caused by some after-affects of the medicine? If so, how long before it's out of my system?
Also, I have a symptom that I have a hard time explaining, when I look at things it seems like they are slightly off, the proportions are right, but in some way it doesn't look like it should. Does hypo/adrenal fatigue mess with your vision? Wtf is that?
If you got some time, I would really appreciate it :)
