I've started to hear my dad (who is dead) talking to me. It seems like my meds are doing nothing. I've told T and p doc but nothing ever comes of it. p doc asks me what I'd "like" to take. If I had that knowledge, I'd be a p doc.

Thyroid levels
definitely can mess with your mood. Following your thyroid surgery you should've been getting your thyroid hormones in your blood checked regularly to make sure your levels are in normal limits. If they're low it can cause hypothyroidism, which can give you depression. Do you know if you've had your levels checked lately and if they were normal? I would definitely look into this if I were you.
Regarding hearing your deceased father talking, it is possible that your depression is so severe that you are experiencing psychotic symptoms. I actually have a thread about this atm. If you google it, don't freak out like I did! It's scary when you read 'psychosis' and 'hallucinations' and 'hospitalisations', but my pdoc took the news of my hallucinations and delusions really calmly and there was absolutely no mention of the dreaded H. They can add an antipsychotic to antidepressant treatment which should help.
Regarding your T, I would definitely tell him to pull his finger out cos you cant keep waiting like this! If he says he's going to do something, then he has to follow through. That majorly screws with my trust issues when that happens, and I had to say to them either do it, or dont offer to do it. I just cant cope with the waiting.
to you. I hope your T comes through for you, but if not, you need to talk to your Dr and Pdoc asap about this. Take care,
