Hello, I don't that the medication does not work. Yes, there may be like a few side effects if you are over dosing, like heart palpitations. But the tiredness and fatigue is due to incorrect dosage. The medication levels has to be adjusted each time and can not constant. It is something we can not control. Some months, you need lower doses and others you need to increase the dose. This is why we need to constantly visit a good endrocologist. This can be beaten until we get to the right dose. It's a killer, I know, but all we have is patience and we need to focus on how to start feeling better. So I advise everyone to hang in there. I know it' easier said than done but nobody knows your body better than you. If you think that the meds are not working then go back to your doctor, and if he does not listen then seek a second opinion until you get to the correct dose for you. There will always be a fluctuation in the dosage and only you will know coupled with a blood test. Good luck to us all with the lazy thyroid :)
