Anybody else have a hypoactive thyroid?

I was diagnosed with Hoshimoskins thyroiditis when I was 15 and have been taking Synthroid since then. Lately, shite has hit the fan and I don’t feel like the Synthroid is working. My blood work come back normal and the doctor wants to put me on anti-depressants. I have been hesitant for a number of reasons but I had a talk with someone close to me and they told me to talk it out.
Anybody else have this condition and go through depression? It really blows and sucks knowing I’m legitimately crazy. Granted it is a biological issue but still. I’m struggling in what to do.
Cliff notes: I’m crazy but not sure what to do to get it fixed.

Stop blaming your made up disease on you being a lazy and fat.

Eat red meat. Burgers, steak, anything like that works. My wife has that pretty bad and those usually help her tremendously.

I suspect you are seeing an endocrinologist. If not, you need to see one.
Just because your numbers fall within the "normal" range does not mean its truly normal.

Go stick your dick in a crazy chick. Hopefully that can balance you out.

Very high incidence in our family with several ultimately developing thyroid cancer. Have you discussed switching to Armour thyroid vs synthroid? Armour contains some amount of T3 as well as T4. The body requires deiodinase to remove an iodine residue to convert T4 to T3. Selenium is necessary for this process to take place and is worth increasing your dietary intake.

I had my thyroid radioactively removed 30 years ago due to hyperthyroidism. You need to watch and monitor your thyroid intake. Even though I have no natural thyroid, I developed Graves Disease which has caused optic nerve damage. They have had a tough time getting my thyroid dosage correct.
I actually lost the ability to see purple this year.

hate that for you.
Im sure you know the crazy responses are because every fat chick with a victim complex says she has thyroid problems.

I was put on Armor Thyroid -- supposedly it's better than Synthroid but I can't remember the "why" that she told me. Also, my numbers weren't severely out of whack BUT based on what I was telling her she put me on it. She treats person/symptoms -- not numbers.

Have them check your free T3. You can have a normal TSH and still have low free T3. Would def discuss with your endocrinologist

I'd like to meet your endocrinologist, because that is not a thing

Have you had your vitamin D, magnesium and B12 levels checked? I'm hypo and when these levels are low, all I want to do is sleep.

You are not crazy, your chemicals are off balance and making you feel that way. Thyroid can do that. What are your thyroid levels? Even if they are in the normal range, they can still be low for you. Have you tried Armour Thyroid? A lot of people say that it works better.

A good endocrinologist will slowly increase your synthroid until you feel better. They will do EKG’s along the way to make sure it’s not causing AFib. Even though my thyroid tested normal, we’ve more than double the amount I’m taking.
How well are you sleeping?

Hey man, this topic hits near and dear to me. I had papillary thyroid carcinoma back in 2010 which resulted in a total thyroidectomy. Currently on 250mcgs of Synthroid, levels came back last year at 50.800 Definitely go see an endocrinologist, there are other things you can do to fight depression, find yourself a hobby, read a book, just keep yourself busy.

The doctor said I had a happy thyroid so I've been trying coconut oil for it. My main problem is I have large genetics

You've come to the right place, but you're going to have to be more specific.

Synthroid is just a light version of meth. Just go get the real stuff

You’re not crazy. Depression is extremely common and is easily treated. Listen to your doctor, not the uncaring opinions of anonymous posters on an Internet forum.
