Lately I’m beginning to think I’m overmedicated. Or crazy. I’ve been on 50mcg of generic Synthroid for almost three weeks now.

You may or not know that I’ve been on generic Synthroid for over a week. I will save my discussion of generics v. name brands for another time. I’ve been keeping track of my symptoms and I have noticed a slight change. Here are my changes:
Fewer naps (some days none)
Fewer mood swings

So, I’ll cut to the chase. I started my first dose of T4 Wednesday. And boy it’s been a long time coming, as you know. Finally connected with the gynecologist who was the only doctor to believe in me enough to willingly try a dose of Synthroid on me.

There’s been a lot of press lately about celebrities (mostly men) and their sex addictions. Psych Central discussed it in an article here: http://blogs.psychcentral.com/celebrity/2010/06/new-research-sheds-light-on-sex-addiction/. These kinds of articles always make me think about my own struggles and how I would hate to have them blasted all over the TV and other media.

So maybe you’ve noticed I haven’t been around much since june 1st. or maybe you haven’t notice. Whatever. But since completing NaBloPoMo for May, I’ve taken a teeny little break. Posting every day for a month is taxing. And the timing for the end of NaBloPoMo was perfect because I have entered another mood swing phase. . . . → Read More: I have a confession

Looking up endocrinologists today.
