Constant Headaches, Fatigue, Weight Gain, Cold Hands And Feet, Insomnia, On Synthroid. Should I Increase The Dosage?

I RECENTLY HAD BLOODWORK DONE TO CK THYROID. I AM CURRENTLY TAKING SYNTHROID - 50 MG/DAY. I HAVE HAD A HYSTERECTOMY 8 MO. AGO, BUT STILL HAVE OVARIES. I HAVE CONSTANT HEADACHES, FATIGUE , TROUBLE WITH WEIGHT, COLD HANDS N FEET, INSOMNIA . I HAVE TOLD MY DOCTOR ABOUT THESE SYMPTOMS, BUT HE SAYS MY RESULTS ARE NORMAL. I ORDERED A FAXED COPY OF THE REPORT: TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4 IS .33 , T4 FREE IS 1.4, FSH IS 20.0. IS IT POSSIBLE I NEED AN ADJ. TO THE MG. OF SYNTHROID? OR SHOULD I TRY A NEW MED.? THANK YOU! :)

Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this is the functional condition and anxiety depression may be the likely cause of this it is better to keep the stress level low instead of thinking to increase the dose or adding some new drug, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
