Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Slurring which appears by afternoon only does not appear to be a serious brain disease. It coupled with other symptoms appears to be related to anxiety/depression, thyroid problem or to marijuana
I suggest you for;
i) Get an examination by your hypothyroid) as you are taking thyroid pill. I assume it is not hyperthyroid as has been mentioned in your history.
iii) In consultation with your doctor, get a routine blood tests and thyroid hormone assay. Try to reduce or stop marijuana.
Please do write back for follow up queries that you may have.
