I started taking 0.05 mg of Synthroid a few weeks ago because my thyroid test results were on the low side of normal. I get so tired and some weekends spend one whole day in bed. I'm on an antidepressant that usually works really well for me, but I'm wondering if the Synthroid is "overriding" it. Since I started the Synthroid I've lost a few pounds, but I am more tired than ever!!! In fact, I'm permanently tired and haven't been able to get out of bed the last couple of days and called in sick. I also feel like the Synthroid is making me feel depressed. I'm considering stopping this medication on my own.

i don't think yasmin will be removed from the market as it does seem to help some people,i have no idea why some people do really well on it and others like many of us on this site suffer some awful effects. i have seen on some web pages that yasmin is actually prescribed for pmdd and pms...... maybe it works well for people who already have a hormonal disorder by overriding their system?????? but for the rest of us who were fine pre yasmin maybe it over doses us with synthetic hormones. i have no ideas really but i have heard people who started out with hormone related emotional problems have improved on yasmin..maybe it should be presecribed as a treatment for hormonal dysfunctions instead of a cure all wonder pill! I don't necessarily believe it should be taken off the market as i can help people but i do believe that the health care professionals should at least recognise the terrible effects we can get from it instead of sending us out of the office saying we have suddenly developed an anxiety disorder or depression or testing us for hundreds of different things when the only thing that has changed is that we started taking this pill. women should be monitored more carefully when taking synthetic hormones.
