Dr. M,

Thank you so much for your response and it really increase my knowledge, understanding about the my problems, and I am getting a big boost from your post.

I have gone through lots of postings from you and built a better understanding about SSRI as well.

Earlier I was not taking the Synthroid in empty stomach but from today I started taking in the morning empty stomach and wait for another 30 minutes to eat anything.

I am taking 75 mg of Effexor since 05/04/09 so it is not long and it will be easier for me to get off from them now instead of after few months or year since I am starting to realized that my problem is 'Hypothyroidism' and if it is treated my other symptoms will go away as well and one of them is 'Depression', but at the same time I am thinking may be I need to continue on Effexor which may help the process of recovering from hypothyroidism.

I will appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thank you,
