Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM
Did you increase the Eltroxin after doing a thyroid function test to assess your original dose or without?
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism ( from excess dose) do affect the mood.
Yasmin being a combination of two hormones can influence the mood in some people.
