Should you take thyroid supplements?  While that is first and foremost a question that should only be answered by a qualified professional, here is a list of the few major things to get you thinking if it may help you.  

• If you have a history of yo-yo dieting or have difficulty losing weight by counting calories and trying to exercise more.
• If you struggle to stay awake without a nap in the middle of the day, even if you slept 8-10 hours the night before.
• If you have depression that doesn't respond to prescription anti-depressants, including the onset of sudden panic attacks.
• If there is any history of thyroid problems in your family.
