Still experiencing severely fatigue on synthroid and cytomel.

[TB18]

I had a thyrodectemy in April 2016. I was still having symptoms but not gaining weight. My Dr. decided to add cytomel, which I am excited about. So my Dr. lowered my synthroid to 125 mg 6x's a week and 5 mg of cytomel 4x's a week. I am also taking calcium twice a day at 600mg and 40,000 IU once a week with calcitrol twice a day as well.

At first I was getting anxiety as a result of taking cytomel, but everytime I took my calcitrol I became so tired. My Dr. took my off the calcitrol, but I'm still tired. I have to keep moving because once I stop I fall asleep.

I think I need more cytomel because on the days I take it I have more energy but not enough to keep me going. Has anyone else experienced this?

Clearly your doctor doesn't know much about thyroid medication.  T4 med goes into your blood fairly slowly so it is okay to skip days.  T3 med reaches full effect on serum levels in about 4 hours and then diminishes over the next 4 hours.  That is why many people choose to split their dose and take half in the morning and the other half in the early afternoon.  Skipping whole days is totally wrong.  

In order to fully answer your post, we really need to see your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  Also, please tell us about all symptoms you have.  If tested for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin please post those results as well.
