> Are you saying that the depression got better two months on an antidepressant and Thyroid meds and then you stopped taking which the antidepressant or the thyroid meds? Which one of each were or are you on. And did you have side effects to the ad. A lot of questions important to me thanks. And anxiety did you take a med for that too? Love Phillipa<
I'm sorry Phillipa, I can be confusing *blushing*- I often struggle with being understood/making sense.
I've been on thyroid meds since my 20's and will have to be on them the rest of my life as my thyroid is non-functional at this time. There was a two month time period I stopped thyroid meds(after I'd been on them for 10 years) because I believed I didn't need them. I have always struggled with depression but after having stopped the thyroid meds I went into a horrible clinical depression- the deepest I've ever had. I resumed my thyroid meds then and that's when I took an anti-depressant. (my first and only time I've taken such a medication). I was on the anti-depressant for about 5 months and then I stopped it-- I continue to take the thyroid med.
Now, my current T. is thinking that I might benefit from some kind of anti-anxiety medication. I'm only taking the daily thyroid med at this time. I've never been on an anti-anxiety med... was only on an anti-depressant for 5 months.
Hope I've explained it better... if not let me know, I don't mind.... I know I'm not so good at communicating.
