What could be causing anxiety/agitation? (a little long...sorry)

I am on 60 mg of Armour first thing in the morning. About 1/2 hour later, I

take some

other meds including Prozac (for anxiety) and Adreset (for adrenal support). I

also drink

some coffee, but it is only half caffeinated. About 1 to 3 hours after taking

the Armour, I

sometimes feel hyper and agitated and become impatient and irritable quickly. I

also feel

like my pulse is more rapid and I get out of breath more easily. The feelings

then come

and go throughout the day. I was like this before I ever took SSRI's, so

I'm not sure why it's resurfacing. I know Prozac is bad, but I have been on

SSRI's for the

past 12 years for anxiety disorder (I have tried many of them, unfortunately).

I'm wondering if I'm taking something I shouldn't, if I'm on too high a dose of

Armour, or

if I need to add something to feel calm and normal. Any thoughts? In case it

helps, here

are my most recent labs:

TSH 0.16 (0.30 - 5.00 uIU/mL)

FT4 0.6 (0.6 - 1.6 ng/dL)

FT3 3.33 (2.30 - 4.20 pg/mL)

Reverse T3 251 (90 - 350 pg/mL)

I have normal serum DHEA, but low saliva DHEA. My saliva cortisol tests were

all in the

low end of normal, but the late night number was very low. My DHEA/Cortisol

ratio was

low,

too.

Thanks so much in advance!
