You are suffering from hypothyroidsim and it seems like your dose of Eletoxin is not at the correct dose. Taking thyroid hormones will signal your body's thyroid to cut production, so once you decided to take thyroid medication for an extended period of time it is usually for life. As you have seen not taking the hormones will make things worse.
You will need to be patient it may take months to get to the proper dose. About every 4-8 weeks you will need to take a blood test. If your TSH is too high the Dr. will raise your dose. It will be done until the correct dose is found.
One thing you could do is make sure you have enough iodine in your diet.
I am been hypothyroid, and have felt the same things you have. You have to be proactive and learn more about your condition, it will help you help your doctor treat you. You are being treated with synthetic T4 hormones, some people feel better with both T4 and T3 hormones, and some taking natural hormones, Armour is the brand.

You have to take your medicine . Did the doctor tell you to stop? I have had the same problem since i was 24. if you take a Synthetic thyroid hormone substitute you should take it first thing in the morning.
I feel the same way as you when my thyroid is all wrong. You have to really watch yourself for any changes. Dont try and do to much, realise you need more time for sleep than you used to.I never feel like excersizing and have the other symptoms you do.
There are foods that are good for thyroid and foods that are bad. Aparently soy based stuff is not good for slow thyroids.
There are some websites that describe what you should or should not eat to improve.
Dont worry once youve had it for a while you will be able to manage it easier.

U are suffering frm Hpothirodism.Due to which u have a put on lot of weight but its not permanant means u can loose weight by doing regular exercise have a balanced diet.eat lots of green vegetables,daily fruits.drink at least 8-10 glasses of water.Do not skip ur medicine because u have to take the medicine for lifetime.U can have a healthy sexual life even if u are suffering frm this. just start eating healthy food.n cardio exercises such as swimming,jogging,cycling,dancing.U r not the only one who is overweight in this world hence dnt feel ashame just work on it.But in order to loose weight as soon as possible dnt go on a foolish diet.or u'll see adverse effects on ur health.u could be slow n lazzy due to this but not neccesarily,u could be lazzy from born also.so be active.

I have a similar problem. we have to take eltroxin for the rest of our life. I know it is difficult to think of exercise when you feel tired and depressed but that is the only way to contol the weight. go to a good endocrinologist and ask him/her to refer you to a dietician who will advice you on a good healthy diet. Maybe we should form a club or something where we could get together. Good luck.

consult endocrinologist or thyroid specialist. dont go any other place. Although, eltroxin is the proper medicine but it should be used only under proper expert's guidance. Consut doctor regularly. it will take time and you should follow the instructions of doctor.

Do meditation for an hour daily after getting self-realization from an experienced spiritual teacher and your thyroid problem should go in three to five months.
