Ash,
I am curious, did you also discontinue your thyroid meds, and what effect have they had on your lab tests?
One thing to consider is whether your hypothyroid is UNDERtreated. I was taking both cytomel and synthroid for a long time and still having difficulty getting my depression and fatigue under control. Finally, my pdoc suggested, and this was confirmed by an endo (I finally consulted an endo), that we needed to address the hypothyroid much more aggressively. Doing so has made THE difference. I only started to feel better after my TSH was suppressed by increasing my synthroid and splitting my cytomel dose.
