Yes, I am having a hard time losing the weight I gained from being hypo and I hardly eat anything at all. It certainly hasn't helped my anorexic tendencies. I already have severe body image problems. The extra weight makes me restrict even more and yet the weight stays. I am a "mental mess".

> Yeah, i knew that the thyroid hormones are prescribed when one has hypothyroidism, and i knew that they increase one's metabolism significantly. But i wasn't sure whether taking one of them (especially for someone who is not hypo- or hyperthyroid or overweight-- such as myself, who is just taking it for depression augmentation) would increase or decrease one's appetite. i wasn't sure because my aunt-- and many others i believe-- who had hyperthyroidism had a raging appetite (though still stayed very slim), and i thought that those with hyPO- often have a tendency to be overweight though still not have a very strong appetite. Is this the case?
