Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I have dealt with similar feelings. I have never been on Synthroid, but since I started taking Armour I have been able to cope better with my feelings. Maybe it is something worth trying or at least discussing with your doctor. i am really not sure if there is any difference in the drugs. All I am sure of is that Armour is the natural form of thyroid hormone. I definitely feel and have much energy. Having more energy helps me to work out. I haven't seen any weight loss because i have only been on thyroid treatment for three weeks. I have to just remember that it is a process and that it takes time. It took me three years to put on 50 pounds, so it is going to take a long time to take it off. This stinks but I have no choice but to watch what I eat and workout or to quit altogether and gain another 50. The latter is not an option i am willing to take. I hope you find all the answers you are looking for and let me know if you find something that is working for you.
Good luck and remember you are not alone.
