My husband is on Levothyroxine just cut in half to 112mg. He has been short tempered, (he's always had emormous amt of patience) doesn't know what he wants, lost of interest in family including me. His personality is changing. It started after he was put on this med and got much worse around the time it was increased 200+ mg. Is it the medicine?
