after taking vitamin D for two days i felt very tired today and difficult to walk.is it due to vitamin D or something else?
TSH level is 26.9 and FT4 of 0.8 certainly means you're suffering from hypothyroidism. And that is the mostly cause of your original symptoms.
I would suggest that the clomipramine and risperidone may be causing some of your symptoms. From what you say taking them didn't help much. Clomipramine and risperidone, if you don't need them, they just make you feel bad. You should work with your psychiatrist to ween yourself off them.
Good Luck.

Um... why are you taking risperidone?
Just want to mention that is very common for people with hypothyroidism to be diagnosed with a depression and placed on medication. If you're on risperidone for 'depression' you may consider weening off it, since depression in you case may be a symptom of hypothyroidism.

As for symptom relief, that tends to lag behind changes in blood levels of thyroid hormones, and is also dependent on severity and length of time you have been suffering with hypo symptoms. It also depends somewhat on the current levels of your biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 (not the same as Total T3 and T4), and what amount of thyroid med will ultimately be required to increase your Free T3 level enough to relieve symptoms. And of course you cannot just start with a large dose of thyroid med. You have to start with a small dose and increase in small increments about every 6 weeks, until you achieve symptom relief.
Sorry I cannot give you a more definite answer, but it will take a while. For best results, people with hypothyroidism have to make med changes slowly and be very patient.
