I used to take a low dose of synthroid for hypothyroidism, but my blood tests for that became so borderline that I discontinued the medication. Each time I've sought ADs, I've had my thyroid levels checked and they've been normal. But 3 generations in my family have had hypothyroidism!

PPD, GAD and OCD> I've got to look into this further - my worsening depression coincides with when my perimenopause started and my cycle started going wonky. I even asked my doctor why you don't test someone's hormone levels, and she said then and since that it wasn't necessary.
