Thanks for the query.
As per the clinical history, you are 26 yrs old (gender not specified), suffering from hypothyroidism over the past 2 years. You are lethargic and gaining weight, despite taking L-Thyroxine supplements (100mcg).

In this situation I would like to ask you, when have you got your last thyroid profile checked, and what were the results. I would advise you to get your thyroid profile checked, since you may be inadequately supplemented at this moment. I would also advise you to get your Hemoglobin levels, Lipid profile and blood sugar levels checked. Please consult your Endocrinologist for clinical checkup and further advise on this issue.

Hope this helps.
