Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Tiredness With Hypothyroidism

Hi, my husband has been suffering from Hypothyroidism for past 18 years. He is on Thyronorm 137.5 mg, but his TSH always hovers around .01. He feels tired and fatigued most of the time. He is severely anxious, with OCD like symptoms on female infidelity (makes him very fearful of me and other women). Recently he lost his sense of smell and discovered that his Testosterone was very low. Now he is on Testosterone replacement but his symptoms of anxiety and tiredness remain. His MRI scan also shows enlarged Pituitary (though Doctor said its not a tumor). Can you pls suggest how to go about helping him todeal with his anxiety and perennial tiredness.
