Where could I find a site that has the thyroid components that are tested and what the ideal levels should be? I ask this because you say that males do better with a TSH of .1 or lower. I had Graves and take synthroid, but my TSH is is on the high range like 4-7, when it should not be higher than 5.5. The Dr. always says I'm fine, but my TSH has been above the the recommended range and my synthroid dosage hasn't changed in 2 yrs. I want to make sure that the synroid is working like it should. Also, I am taking Nardil. Do anti-depressants/MAOI's have any effect on the thryoid or how you process the synroid?
Thank you for your post and any information would be appreciated.
