Don't be fobbed off with one type of treatment, levothyroxine is not a one size fits all and doesn't work for everyone. All about alternative medications if symptoms don't improve because in the uk you won't be offered anything else.

Do not panic! it's not the end of the world. You control your body and emotions. You've been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, it's fine, you will start experience some changes in your body and emotions but with time you will be grateful that you have this condition because your lifestyle will change, you will have a healthy life.
If you have never been detected this condition probably you would continue with the same bad habits that in long term would bring you another disease. Be grateful, everything happens for a reason.

That you keep calm while endocrinologo balances the levels of tsh , it tends to take a few days until the medication takes effect, you do not panic because the pills of levothyroxine does not produce side effects, and I already I have for years tomandola and I can tell you that nothing happens, there is nothing wrong with taking a pill to start the day .... look for options , look for support psychological to this I would like you to tell me from the first day , that way I would have known better manage emotions
