novotiral and anxiety

[Mexigringa]

Hi I live in Mexico & along with dealing with depression recently, I was also diagnosed with sub-clinical hypothyroidism.  My TSH & free T4 were within the normal range but my free T3 was below normal.  I now take 1/4 tab of Novotiral daily & my labs are fine so far.  (1/4 Novotiral tab = 25 mcg levothyroxine/5 mcg liotironina or cytomel).  My problem is that I continue to suffer from anxiety.  My depression has lifted but I have a 'knot in my stomach' or 'butterflies' on a very consistant basis.  I looked up Novotiral on the internet and at one site under side effects it lists internal anxiety - a perfect description of this horrible feeling.  This has been going on for months now & clearly is not going away over time so I finally decided to search for some help and suggestions & here I am.  
My doctor said this medication targets T3 and I am not sure of other options so I figured I would start here before I had my check up soon so I could be better informed when I see him.  My depression has lifted, I even asked my psychiatrist to change my antidepressant to one known to help more with anxiety (changed from zoloft to efexxor) & it has not helped.  I am becoming more certain that the thyroid med is the problem.  I am ready to just stop this medication even for a short term to see if it is really my problem.  Not really sure if this is a good idea but I am confused & needless to say tired of living in a state of anxiety (basically what would be termed as free-floating anxiety).  Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you

Please post the actual results of your FT3, FT4 and TSH and include reference ranges from your own lab report.  Ranges vary lab to lab, so you have to post both together.

We will be able to comment a lot better when we see exactly where you are in the ranges.

I think your dosage is a little bit to high.... I also recommend you read a little bit more about the effects of a diseased thyroid. One of them is depression. So if your depression got better it is due to the result of Novotiral... I was treated many years for depression and anxiety...when finally one doctor found the problem. It was my THYROID all along. I suspended all drugs and just took Levothryroxin  and all my problems were gone... Now I am on Novotiral and life is MUCH MUCH BETTER!
