It takes 3 months for the medication to even everything out. Have you already had a new TSH test done in these 7-8 weeks?
Many people never feel the same after having a thyroid problem. And many people have trouble losing the weight or they continue to gain. People think that once they start the med and everything is "normal" that they will feel normal. Unfortunately from what I have read, it's not true.
Actually I am currently reading "The Thyroid Diet" and it basically says the same thing.In terms of how you feel, it takes more than 7-8 weeks to feel better. I still don't feel better and it has 10 years (sorry).

> I have been on levothyroxine for about 7 - 8 weeks with no real relief. I am still exhausted and fatigued all the time. I have gained more weight despite working out and diet. I still have a low libido and basically don't feel good. Is there any hope? I had blook ran again yesterday and don't know results, but even if my TSH is normal, I still feel terrible. I am getting married in a week and going on a honeymoon and would like to feel halfway decent. Any tip?
