I've been on synthroid for a reallllly long time. If your thyroid tests come back normal then it is doing all it is going to do and tha tis bring your thyroid levels back into a "normal range." It is true that low thyroid is known to contribute to weight gain and feelings of depression; but if you have those symptoms you must also do something like trying exercise and eating right to help the meds do a more effective job in helping you.no pill is magic it is just supposed to help normalize what your body does.
Only a physician can help you, AnyQA.coms is not the appropriate site to solve such question.
I have heard that there is a new medicine, it's called Armour. It is the best thing out there, you might want to talk to your doctor about this.
Get some books at the library to help you understand what you are up against for the rest of your life. (You will have this problem permenantly). I have hypo too & I am on levothroid.
STOP PUMPING YOUR BODY WITH ALL THESE DRUGS!! Antidepressants are bullshit! Now if you need something for your thyroid that's understandable, but try to avoid taking medications as much as you can. all those chemicals are really bad for your body in the long run. Talk to your doctor about trying something else if this isn't working, something with minimum side effects. Also to go Wholefoods or some place like that and see if you can find a natural herbal cure for your problem. Be healthy.
EXERCISE! That'll help the weight problem and depression because of the endorphin rush.
HOW CAN YOU BE HYPNOTIZED AND KNOW IT!DUH!
