So, I'd been feeling pretty good- warm and calm and mostly upbeat.
Then the last couple weeks I started to get irritable and cranky and even a bit depressed.
I changed from NDT to T4/T3 combo about 5 weeks ago. T3- 12.5mcg (taken in bites throughout the day), and T4- 56.25mcg (at night). I know the ratio is a bit more than 4:1. I felt pretty good with this for about the first 1.5-2 weeks or so. Then I slowly started getting irritable and depressed. I thought the new meds were maybe making PMS symptoms more severe for some reason, causing me to be irritable before menstruation (which I'm not usually). But then these depression symptoms have persisted even past menstruation into the first half of my cycle.
Not sure what's going on here.
-Are the new meds pushing my metabolism higher, making me need more calories or more vitamins/minerals?
-Is the ratio of meds somehow causing this issue? If so, how?
-I also started increasing my Vitamin A while on these new meds. I was on about 20,000iu and then the last couple weeks I went up to 70,000iu (it did seem to help my acne a bit). I thought maybe the Vitamin A was the cause of the depression. But I didn't take any Vitamin A the last 2 days and I'm still experiencing the depression symptoms. (Maybe it takes longer than 2 days to get the Nutrisorb A out of my system?)
Any thoughts?
