ANTI ANXIETY DRUGS / My Lab Results--Thyroid & Adrenals

May 25, 2012

I can personally vouch for what Martha says below. I was put on a psychotropic

drug because my hypothyroidism was not properly diagnosed (was depressed). I

was treated for one of my symptoms and not the actual problem. I NEVER should

have been put on psychotropic drugs. After being on a them for 12 years I

weaned off way too fast (most dr's have NO CLUE how to properly wean somone off

these drugs)and I cannot describe to you the hell I was in for over a year. I

still don't know how I was able to hold down a job and fake normalcy. It took me

over a year to slowly wean off this medication thru the help of another

incredible chat group. Even tho it's been 7 years since I've been off the

medication I'm still not the same person I was prior to weaning and I'm one of

the lucky ones. There are some people on that chat group who were put on

multiple drugs that all have the same hellish withdrawals. Some of those people

will never fully recover. Hang in there and get your thyroid and adrenals

'fixed' first. You can google natural supplements for anxiety until you get

things sorted out. There is a great store called Herb Mart in Plano that sells

supplements/herbs cheaper than any place I know of.

Just based on my own experience, I would work with the doctor on

anything BUT an anti-anxiety drug. Once you start chemically altering

your brain, it's VERY hard to get off that type of medicine, and it can

totally screw up your life.
