I only take 5 mg of Lexapro (for depression, which may have been the thyroid problem), but I still do not have any energy.

My blood tests are "normal". I tried taking T3 for awhile with the thyroid replacement, but it did not help.

I'm tired of being tired; it is affecting my daily life.

Re: thyroid removed and exhausted

Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are chronically tired and exhausted.

I just read Michelle's response to your SHARE entry regarding your exhaustion, chronic fatigue and thyroid.

Did this answer help? I hope we hear from others as well. You can also search this site for "thyroid" and "fatigue", as there have been many other women who have shared their questions and concerns regarding hypothyroidism and related symptoms.

Please let us know how you are doing!
