Hi everyone, I am Lola. I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroid recently. My thyroid is getting bigger but there were not much activity. The doctor gave higher dosage of meds and its torturing me. I feel angry, upset and depressed for no reason. I cried and yelled at my family because for petty things. When I look in the mirror, I dont see myself anymore. I dont feel like myself anymore. 3 hours ago I nearly kill myself. I kept telling myself that I want this pain to stop. I am planning to get antidepressant meds and I was wondering if any of you know any alternative to this.
I am sorry you are not feeling great. You would need to know what your thyroid labs of the Free T3 and the Free T4 are doing along with the meds you are taking. It looks like from your post for the symptoms you are having, that the Free Ts levels are not in the 'right' places within the normal lab reference ranges for you to feel best there at.
Many doctors tell us we are just fine any where within the lab reference ranges. But, each one of us with having thyroid issues have our own set points within the lab reference ranges that we feel best there at.
Do you have any labs to share with us so we can better help you to work on getting back on track?
