I was diagnosed with ADD in the third grade, and was on Ritalin until tenth grade. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and put on Levothyroxine. Shortly after starting the Levo I began getting killer migranes everyday, as a test my doctors took me off the Ritalin to see if that would help, I stopped having migranes but my GPA died. It took me five years to finish high school. I am now in college trying to study to be a Pre-School Teacher, my current GPA is 0.53 and I've been kicked out of my college for lack of performance. I was a stellar student when I was on ADD meds and I miss the focus I used to have.
Since I can not be on Ritalin because of the drug interaction I'm wondering if with all the new drugs now on the market, is there one that wouldn't/shouldn't interact with my thyroid medication?
Please, I'm getting desperate someone help me.
