Thyroid panel was normal, but doc. said lets try and boost your T3 , so she gave me some Armour Thyroid 15mg/day. I took it for about a week and then stopped, this was about the time I felt my anxiety getting worse. I spoke earlier about the lamictal because I was reducing that dose at the same time. It never dawned on me that the Crazy anxiety I've been having could be from the the Armour Thyroid. I figured it had been 3 days since the last dose, so I never factored it in. I did some reading today and found that the T4 part of the Armour Thyroid has a half life of 4-7 days. Please someone tell me this is why my anxiety is so bad lately. It's not as bad today as the last 4 days, but I almost went to the ER the last few days as even with the benzos on board, nothing and I mean nothing would reduce the anxiety I was feeling.
