“Am I the only one who felt blank and emotionless on euthyrox? Like a total zombie. … 95% of time I felt mentally numb, less talkative”

Cause

r/Hashimotos first-person OP u/EverSince1992 (post 15w3thx; Poland): Hashimoto diagnosed; Tirosint then Euthyrox (levothyroxine) 25→50→75 mcg. Attributes feeling 'blank and emotionless' / zombie mostly to being on Euthyrox (esp. after uptitration), with pounding heart; labs TSH ~1.3.

Duration

~7 months on thyroid meds at Aug 2023 post; quit Euthyrox ~3 weeks before posting

Recovery notes

After quitting Euthyrox ~3 weeks: heart normalized, mood better, sleep improved. Asks how to treat thyroid without meds that made them blank/emotionless. Recovery refers to the blank+emotionless state on Euthyrox resolving off the drug (not a claim about Hashimoto itself).
