I use eltroxin 0.1mg every day for two years now and could not understand why I am always tired although I had a good night's sleep. I also became aware that I am very tempered, depressed and can do impulsive things. like buying a bike as example. Recently, almost a month ago I had to visit my GP for a common flu. I also asked him to run a blood test on my thyroid hormones. It became apparent that I have been taking 0.05mg less than what I should have. Could all my negative experience be because of this? I only started to take the higher doses since today, I am hoping on a better outcome. My e-mail address is Christo.***

Yes, all of those are related to hypothyroidism. Also, it depends on how your body reacts to the brand you are on. There is one brand that is causing hypo symptoms rather than treating them for a lot of people. This is the link to information about that. (This site is a wonderful source of information about thyroid issues.
