Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query It appears your initial dosage of Levothyroxine was not enough. To controll all the symptoms of hypothyroidism, TSH has to be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. If not then problems of the disease will continue. So the dose of thyroxine has to be increased. Secondly there is no role for other medications given by the doctor unless there are any specific symptoms indicating their need. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism does lead to anxiety and depression too. Thanks.
