In reply to Is it Anxiety OR Thyroid Problem?, posted by panic_attacK on November 11, 2004, at 14:09:48
I've been on medication for hypothyroidism for 4 years and a very I will probably be on it all my life. It's cheap and there are no side effects. I gained energy, was less sensitive to cold, felt healthier. I don't want to get your hopes up, because your thyroid may be fine, and because it doesn't solve anything, but it does give you a bit more to work with in life. I really think it is a highly underestimated factor in moods and energy.
One thing though, if you are hypo and require medication (levothyroxine), it may not help your anxiety outright. It may help your mood and energy which in turn may allow you to acheive more and have fewer things to be anxious about.
Hope this helps,
