Re: Scary question - weight?

February 23, 2005

Hi Jeanne! It took me 3 months, I probably raised my dosage a little faster than

I should have. At 3 grains, I started losing weight and keeping it off, but my

hair was still falling out. I've been working out consistently, however, when I

was at 2 grains I would start to feel sick during my workout and once I got a

migraine afterwords. I'm feeling great now!!! I also feel more fortunate than a

lot of you on this site. The only problem I seem to have is being hypo. My

workout consists of 4 to 5 cardio workouts - 30 minutes each: weights 4xs a

week (arms 2x, legs 2x). And abs 3 times a week. Right now I'm not working, so

we'll see how things go once I find a jog again! I had a job in May, but I had

an anxiety attack and couldn't go to work anymore. All my doctor did was

prescribe Alprazolam (generic Xanax)!!! I went to the doctor last March cause I

was feeling really depressed and not motivated. He prescribed Lexapro and

tested my TSH. He diagnosed me with hypo, kept me on Lexapro and prescribed

Synthroid. I am just now almost totally weaned off the Lexapro...the Thyroid-S

also is helping with my depression!!! Sue in Colorful Colorado From: jeanne [mailto:

weight?! Sue, how long did it take you to get up to 4 grains?--and did the

weight loss begin,after you got to 4??and have you been able to work out

consistently from the beginning of your diagnoses??-jeanne> I am up to 4

grains of Thyroid-S and have been losing a pound a week. I was very frustrated

on Synthroid...it was like I wasn't on any meds at all. Some weeks I would work

out like crazy, eat healthy and gain 1 to 3 pounds!> Sue in Colorful
