So, following on from your first post

Your results are poor because you have been taking Levothyroxine at same time as iron supplements

So moving forward you need to take Levothyroxine at least four hours away from iron supplements and two hours away from sertraline

Getting vitamins optimal is important as well

Ask GP to test vitamin D

How many doses of iron are you taking per day? Just one, two of three?

Taking vitamin c at same time as iron may help improve iron absorption

Also eating liver or liver pate once a week should help improve ferritin

Your B12 and folate are low. But may not be low enough for GP to consider treatment

Supplementing a good quality daily vitamin B complex, one with folate in not folic acid may be beneficial.

B vitamins best taken in the morning after breakfast

Recommended brands on here are Igennus Super B complex. (Often only need one tablet per day, not two. Only start with just one tablet). Or Jarrow B-right

If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 7 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results

Thyroid will need retesting after 6-8 weeks on new schedule of taking Levothyroxine well away from any other medication or food and drink
