A member asked:

I started synthroid b/c tsh was 5.02 (range .45-4.50)on two occasions and i had fatigue. don't feel different after 3 months. could i stop synthroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroidism: Recheck your tsh and if it's not in therapeutic range dose increase will be needed. If it's ok, then other causes of chronic fatigue must be checked for. Possibilities include anemia, iron or Vit B12 deficiency, sleep disorder, chronic anxiety, stress or depression, low grade infection,etc. Your physician will examine you and order appropriate tests.
