need help with depression, sleepiness, thyroid problems.

[Guest guest]

Hi! I am new to natrual medicine & would like some advice. I have

hypothyroidism (diagnosed at about age 15...I am now 33) & have taken

synthroid with no problems for years. After my 2nd baby I got post

partum depression bad & have been on anti-depressants ever since (10

years now). I have backed off on the dose so I am taking a miniscual

amount, but when I go to almost nothing, I get angry, irritible, weepy

& tired. So, I go back to my small dose to keep me ok. I am tired

of " having " to take this. I also am tired all the time...horribly

so! If I don't have to be somewhere I just stay in bed & sleep. I

have about a week every month where I have tons of energy which is my

true personality but the rest of the time I am dragging. I want SO

badly to feel good, eat right, etc. but am not sure what can help. If

I could just not be so tired all the time it would make life 100%

better. I am sure that all of these issues are related, starting with

my thyroid problems...when the DR. checks my levels every year they

are normal. I need some help as to what I can do to regulate my

hormones & chemicals in my body, to help ease these symptoms. Any

ideas?

Thanks, Suzanne
