    I have some days when I am fine, other days when I am mentally tired, and with that I get anxiety as I think I am ill. My doc says my thyriod levels are fine with the medication but I just don't feel mentally awake some times.

      Please please remove caffeine from your life completely. i know it's hard, especially at the start. Pick a week that you are on holiday because the first 1-2 weeks you will feel extra tired. After that you will feel better. I was on 125mg of levothyroxine and in 3 months of no caffeine i reduced it to 100mg and feel better. Still tired but an improvement nonetheless

    I've got congenital under active ..u now have no thyroid on removal ..(years ago). Got bloods Monday again for various checks imc thyroxine levels ..I feel so drained ots unreal . It surely has to be linked . I get tested every 6 months ir so and been on 225 mcg for a few years or more now so no changes accept my recent energy levels dropping dramatically. Can often feel my heart pump which is odd . I do where a fitbit here and there heart rates vary but usually from normal 72bpm to 78 ish. Defendant hiw active I am ..I just feel wiped . When I met my partner 10+ years ago I was on a high dose of 425mcg a day poss 450 one of the 2. ...been getting tidy sleep hours as such. Better than I used to and feel just as tired. It's exhausting . Not checked last 2/3 weeks but before was getting intermittent BP readings high others were more normal . Very odd .

      Yes Hypothyroidism is linked to tiredness, and can lead to excessiveness.
