My pdoc DID prescribe thyroid augmentation even though the doc's lab tests came back "Normal". She told me that a psych's range of "normal" can be different from a gp. I don't always know what helps, but she says it has. I guess I should consider myself fortunate that she doesn't simply go with the standard results.
Excuse me, did someone say "be careful you don't drink enough caffienated drinks"? I assume you mean "too much"? Does that apply to all thyroid meds? It seems I wake up sometimes with a pounding heart - (no, NOT anxiety or nightmares) - how long can the combination take before the side effect shows up? I never really thought about side effects with thyroid meds.
