Can't take no more.............

Well I have been on levothyroxine for about 2 years now, and I am sick of it all I went from 50mcg now on 150mcg and their seems to be no end in sight. Every time my doctor increases dosage like a week later I feel ok then 2 weeks after that it back to feeling like a prisoner in my own body. My story started like 6 years ago I am 47 now. I started to feel tired , and I knew something had to be wrong long a behold thyroid not producing. I don't know how everybody feels or is every case different? For me it is horrible I can't really explain it but I will try. right now I will feel ok until around 4:00 pm then I just feel terrible I am at work and I feel like screaming. Because I just don't want to be here any more, no motivation or drive to do anything, tired, depressed its like I am in another body.I try to explain to my wife, and she says she understands, but there is no way she could. I just have one question does anybody have to keep getting increases in medication? Maybe I am just doomed to suffer. Sorry for the rant.

i know exactly how you feel . My thyroid was removed in 2001 . i was put on .125mcg
Stayed on that dose with no problems till 2016 when I moved got a new Doctor.
Since then my life has been a living hell but the last two years have really been bad.
The new doctor started changing my dose up and down which was jerking me all over the place, which I have learned is very wrong.
Got in with a specialist 3 yrs ago and the first yr was okay. My next appointment came 1 day after the lockdown so it was a phone appt with no bloodwork. Make a long story short my dose was climbing and did so for the next 2 years. It almost killed me. Still trying to get it right but now I have debilitating temors, can't eat, can't sleep and the mental is off the chart.
I also have Thyroid attacks which feel like your going to die.
I truly hope you find balance with your meds and you health improves. I wish I could have a solution for anyone with this problem.
Good Luck and God bless you
