Brief Answer: What pills are you talking of? Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms you have reported. Please, I have not seen the names of the specific pills you are requesting whether they can be gotten online or not. Can you kindly send the name of the pills again? Your weight gain sees to be more than just a problem with your diet. These symptoms are very suggestive for a possible hypothyroidism I will strongly recommend tat you get tested for hypothyroidism. This would be done by measuring the TSH levels and the T4 and T3 hormones. For this, it would bes best to consult an endocrinologist or get these preliminary tests done by your primary care doctor. The other possible causes of these symptoms could be depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. These are possibilities that should be looked into if it should turn out not to be hypothyroidism. I will like you to have a summarised look at hypothyroidism from a trusted site and see whether it relates with most of your symptoms. Follow up with more for more information and clarifications. WWW.WWWW.WW I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health. Dr. Ditah, MD.
