Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I am on 1.5 grains of Armour Thyroid daily. Had saliva testing done and it didn't show my cortisol to be too high - at the upper end of normal, but not overtly high and at noon my cortisol was 0 (lab error?). I used to be very organized and excited about life - I work at home as a medical transcriptionist and cannot buckle down and work - if I could, I could make a lot of money. When I used to work at home (took a break from MT and worked outside the home) I loved it because I could get my 8 hours of work done in 5 hours and have more time in my day to do fun things. I find myself sitting at this computer ALL day - doing E-mails, reading on the internet - jumping up and down from my chair to do other things around the house and watching some TV. I just cannot focus at all! I have no drive. Wondering about antidepressants. How many of you take antidepressants and would they work for what I am dealing with? Is this a symptom of hypothyroidism? I also am in perimenopause - age 48. There is also some depression mixed in with this - just no real zest for life these days. Fear of the future mixed in....lots of issues. Thanks!
