I've gained 20 freak'n lbs since I was there last. SUCKS!!!

Hi Janet,
I was at my doctor in July and had blood work ... my TSH was 4.04 from doctor #1 and he put me on Synthroid 0.025mg (25 mcg?) and I have steadily gained 2 lbs a month (I have been on it for 15 months) ... my other doctor (#2) did the same blood work a week later and my TSH was 6.67, he prescribed 1mg Synthroid .... so I went back to the endocrinologist (#2) and he did blood work again but said I am just eating too much ... my eating habits have not changed ... and gaining 2 lbs a month surely is not what I want ..I am soooooooooo tired all the time .... I am waiting for these blood tests to come back and see what happens ....
I was wondering if you heard anything about Cytomel? It has to do with T 4? I am not sure ... I feel as if I am being sabotaged since weigh GAIN & increased appetite are side effects of Synthroid ...
Can you shed light on this for me please??? HELP!!!!
