Could Synthroid be the cause of my loss of libido?

Question

I would like to know if syntroide can decrease libido. I have a tsh that varies a lot but since a few months I'm on a 225mg dose, my highest yet, and I feel like since it's up to 175mg my libido is decreasing rapidly.... I am looking for an explanation I am still an anxious person in life but this is a good time I am not more stressed I would say even me and since my job change a year ago

Hi, ma'am, This is not a known side effect with Synthroid. In your opinion, could there be other causes such as lack of sleep, stress or anxiety? Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification! In most cases, low libido is a symptom of another problem, such as fatigue, a more difficult period in your relationship, or anxiety, to name a few. To that end, if it persists or impinges on your quality of life, I invite you to discuss it with your doctor and/or a psychologist. This is your best starting point.
