With the changes in meds/supplements I think it would be wise for you to test for Free T3, Free T4, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D in about a month.
Thank you sir now i dunt knock the doctors doors,as your suggestion i will take to my vitamin B12 to upper limit and vitamin D to 65.now how much days it take the supplement so that i again go to lab and test again to see the level,i have completely wean off my resperidone its been 4 days and the dose of clomipramine to 50 mg as your suggestion along with gibbon sir,i feel little clear .sir will you please tell me i have some pressure with my vision like cloudy and blury how it can be removed i take my spectatles of -2.0 power at both eye i felt diffcult to take spectatles.i will say i am little well than how i was a month ago,and i am weak i think its due to low level of vitamin B12.
Yes, most doctors we hear about seem to practice what we refer to as "Reference Range Endocrinology", by which they will tell you that a test result that falls anywhere within the range is adequate for you. That makes it a lot easier for them to decide about treatment, but it simply doesn't work for a lot of patients. In the case of B12, where the range listed for you test was 200 - 1100, recall from Red_Star above that in Japan and Europe they are now using 500 as the lower limit. What sense does it really make for someone with a B12 level of 200 to be considered as "normal", same as someone with a B12 of 1100? The upper range limit is over 5 times as much as the low limit, which makes no practical sense. .
So what does that really say about ranges? To me ranges should be used as guidelines within which to adjust as necessary to relieve related symptoms, not as a pass/fail decision for treatment based on whether you happen to fall within the range or not.

hello sir r u there?i have gone today for new doctors i was thinking he could maintain my vitamin B12 and vitamin D.he just told me your B12 is within normal range you if you are having symptoms they are just tingling of hands and feet.and vitamin D is well in level.again test for both of this the symptoms you are having might be due to stress do some hormonal test and we will see then.i dont like his suggestion so i didnt said anything just returned back to home.
B12 deficiency – what the numbers mean
May 3rd, 2013 by B12anemia
I just need to take a minute and discuss what the results of your B12 blood tests mean. Recently I have had 2 people from my personal life who have been diagnosed with B12 deficiency anemia and I am shocked at the difference between my treatment and theirs. They weren’t informed of the severity or the potential dangers associated with this condition.They are both women in their late 30′s and were both diagnosed with B12 deficiency anemia. Let’s assume that they had their homocystine and methylmalonic acid levels checked and they came back elevated. They both had B12 levels in the low 200′s and they were both treated with a “mega-dose” shot and told to take supplements. That was it. What worries me the most is that they are from different parts of the country, have different doctors. This should not be a standard treatment for B12 deficiency.
According to both my doctor and my neurologist ( and I have read the data myself as well) once your B12 levels fall below 400 you can start to feel symptoms and the lower the number goes, the worse those symptoms get. Officially if your B12 results are 200 or less you have B12 deficiency. Again, both my doctor and neurologist have said that number should be raised to 400. Based on my experience I would definitely agree. I had lots of symptoms, and as my levels were falling I got worse and worse.
It usually takes a long time for you to start feeling the effects of B12 deficiency, which means that damage can start to occur in your body with out you even knowing it. You need to get your levels up as soon as possible so you can start to heal any damage that may have been done, if it’s even possible. Sometimes the damage is irreversible, so the longer you are deficient the worse it can be. You also don’t want your B12 levels to go up and down. You want to get your b12 numbers high and your other numbers low and keep it that way so your body may begin to heal.

Just to emphasize the importance of getting your B12 into the upper part of its range, here is a list of typical symptoms of B12 deficiency.
"A deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. A mild deficiency may cause only mild, if any, symptoms. But as the anemia worsens it may causes symptoms such as:
weakness, tiredness or light-headedness
rapid heartbeat and breathing
pale skin
sore tongue
easy bruising or bleeding, including bleeding gums
stomach upset and weight loss
diarrhea or constipation
If the deficiency is not corrected, it can damage the nerve cells. If this happens, vitamin B12 deficiency effects may include:
tingling or numbness in fingers and toes
difficulty walking
mood changes or depression
memory loss, disorientation, and dementia"

Finding and suggesting a good thyroid doctor from Kathmandu would be a very difficult task for us, being so far away and (I am sorry to say) having so little knowledge about Nepal. You might be the best one to try and find a good thyroid doctor. One place to start would be to ask around at pharmacies that provide thyroid medication, if they know of such doctors. Also ask them if they can tell you of any doctors that prescribe T3 type thyroid meds. Of course you can also ask around among your friends and people you work with if they know of any good thyroid doctor.
As for your question about weaning off the clomipramine and risperidone, perhaps Gibbon can help with that question.
One thing I am curious about is whether you can buy thyroid medication yourself there in Nepal without a prescription from a doctor.

Thank sir,do any member of medhelp know the best thyroid doc from kathmandu..,nepal .i have heard pychatrist medicine should be wean of on supervision of psychatrist doc making does gradually decrease n then wean it of is it true.?
Hard to even imagine it could be related to the Vitamin D. My best suggestions are to continue to supplement with the Vitamin D, and also B12. Your B12 needs to be in the upper part of its range, Vitamin D around the midddle of its range. When both D and B12 are adequate, then you can evaluate how you are feeling and determine if tweaking of your Free T3 level should be considered. Also, don't overlook the suggestion from Gibbon about weaning off the clomipramine and risperidone.
after taking vitamin D for two days i felt very tired today and difficult to walk.is it due to vitamin D or something else?i just scared.what is it?it become me very difficult me to wake up in morning.is there any harm with vitamin D.please suggest me.thanks for your support.

TSH level is 26.9 and FT4 of 0.8 certainly means you're suffering from hypothyroidism. And that is the mostly cause of your original symptoms.
I would suggest that the clomipramine and risperidone may be causing some of your symptoms. From what you say taking them didn't help much. Clomipramine and risperidone, if you don't need them, they just make you feel bad. You should work with your psychiatrist to ween yourself off them.
Good Luck.

Um... why are you taking risperidone?
Just want to mention that is very common for people with hypothyroidism to be diagnosed with a depression and placed on medication. If you're on risperidone for 'depression' you may consider weening off it, since depression in you case may be a symptom of hypothyroidism.

As for symptom relief, that tends to lag behind changes in blood levels of thyroid hormones, and is also dependent on severity and length of time you have been suffering with hypo symptoms. It also depends somewhat on the current levels of your biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 (not the same as Total T3 and T4), and what amount of thyroid med will ultimately be required to increase your Free T3 level enough to relieve symptoms. And of course you cannot just start with a large dose of thyroid med. You have to start with a small dose and increase in small increments about every 6 weeks, until you achieve symptom relief.
Sorry I cannot give you a more definite answer, but it will take a while. For best results, people with hypothyroidism have to make med changes slowly and be very patient.
