It was under "why isn't anyone answering
my questions" but i can't find the major
heading. I am slowly getting used to
the drug comboSynthroid 0.112
Lithium 300
Klonopin 1.50K and L taken close together (as recommended
once by my dr. on similar complaint.The K feels like it is constricting breathing,
chest tightness, and dyspnea - can't get
enough air in as if lungs are closed.
There is a curve to how awful this feels -
about 1 1/2 hour with both L and K with a
peak of feeling worse in the middle.When I used to take Xanax also, it was much
worse even with less K at that time (1.0) -
i used to have to arch my back and stretch
on all fours to get a breath in.Could be the benzo/lithium interaction with
hypothyroidism.Sorry to appear testy; the lack of treatment
and examinations has probably put me in less
than a cheerful mood as it does feel like
an impending heart attack. And it has taken
many months of my life. But, it is my fault,
because it happens when I fear the lithium
is going toxic, and lower it. Then when I
reinstate -- this happens every time.Thank you for your kind reply.
