Q: Hypothyroidism - Lack of Energy And Drive

I was told to watch my thyroid about 8 years ago by a alergy specialist and i have started to need medicine about 4 years ago. I have my blood checked about every 6 months and take levothyroxine. The problem is that i still am tired and a little depresed (most of the time). Some days I will feel great, but most of the time I have to force myself to do anything. I would like to know if anyone has taken any other prescription medicines along with levothyroxine to help with this overwelming problem. I am 43 years young male. Thank you.
