What I did  for a while was take antidepressants, sleeping aid (Over the counter is enough for some, for me they did nothing so doctor prescribed one), etc.  Sometimes we just have to do more for ourselves then just relying on thyroid meds. and levels.  And they don't have to be forever, but just until we get over the rough times of thyroid.  Thyroid does come with a lot of mental issues. Thyroid effects all parts of our body, including the mind.

Good luck and health
