Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
There are two medical problems one is Hypothyroidism as your TSH level is high and swelling on face and feet and arms, is possibly due to hypothyroidism issue.
Now you have started Thyroxine tablet please continue to take it regularly in morning it takes some time may be 4 to 6 weeks to see complete effect of this therapy.
Other issue you have not mentioned but as there are many drugs flupentixol and melitracen tablet and paroxetine which could be prescribed due to depression or Psychosis so for which please consult Psychiatrist and follow regularly to see improvement.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Take care.
Good Luck.
