Synthroid and anxiety and depression

My side effects started happening probably early in the year. They increased my dose at the end of the year last year and to be honest, I was not taking my medicine like I was supposed to - I kept forgetting to take it. So I feel like my blood work showed up low falsely. I have been having anxiety and depression and mood swings real bad for about 2 weeks - some before, but I blew it off on PMS. I cannot stand to be in my own skin!! I did talk my dr into lowering me back down to my original dose - does anyone think that will help?? It has got to - I am driving everyone in my family crazy, including myself.

Diagnosed hyperthyroid about 3 yrs ago. So extreme they deemed it necessary to not mess around with supression therapy and gave me radioactive iodine. Was all done so fast I didn't have time to think if I was doing what was best. Anyway.....1 mg of synthroid. When I am on it hair loss, thinner nails, calf cramps that kill, anxiety and depression...because of the depression I don't take care of myself therefore I don't take my meds. ta da...i feel better when I don't and all the other symptoms go away too. After a few months I freak myself out that I dont have a functioning thyroid and need to take my meds. So I restart the synthroid and bam....here the bad things all start again. And the cycle goes round and round.

hi there-
well just to fill you in im a 33 year old woman living in brooklyn, ny.
i was recently diagnosed as having a thyroid tumor-
there were also nodule growth on my thyroid-
i was so frustrated when they told me ---they could tell me i had cancer- but they could not tell me it didn't unless they removed the whole thing.
so two weeks ago out she came- tumor , thyroid and all. the aspirate showed that it was a solid mass- and the test result was "suspicious"
i have noticed since i have been on the synthroid-
leg pains- anxiety and depression.
i may be shakey but i am still taking the pain meds-
i think to even out the whole emotions that go with the experience-
i just saw my neck for the first time two days ago-
i feel like a peez dispenser-
and feel constant feeling( almost like a pressure) where the surgery was performed-

they say it might be environmental or genetic. it does seem to be prevolent in the north east-
im still figuring this whole thing out-really
but it helps to hear other testimonies- the leg cramps were really bothering me!
