> I had a thyroid test in june. It's fine. I've had 3 tests since all this anxiety/depression started and there has never been any indication of thyroid disorder. It would be wonderful if that's all it was. A little thyroid hormone and i'd be cured. Jeez, how wonderful would that be?
I had what I thought was a diagnosis a couple of months ago but it turned out to just be my pdoc telling me something because I insisted that she tell me something. I was tired of being a non-specified disorder.....Now, I don't know anything. The last time I saw her she said there wasn't anything wrong with me that a job and getting out wouldn't fix...yeah well, I have a job. I get out as much as I can and I'm worse than before....
I take klonopin sparingly. Mostly I just suffer in silence at home. This is really the only place I can talk about it and feel understood.
Thanks Kristi
I hope your sister continues on her road of success.>

> Hi kiddo. I haven't followed your other posts, so I'm not sure of your RX. Your symptoms sound exactly like what my sister is going thru right now and it's hyperthoirdism(sp)... I mean, it's something you might want to look into. She has her thyroid med and feel find. Her doctor told her that their are many misdiagnosis for someone with anxiety and someone with a thyroid problem.
> But...... I myself get anxiety attacks... big ones, valium works the best for me. Anyway, I probably should read more about your before I responded to this, but I saw so many similaries. Sorry if I'm out of line...... and yes... get a doctor!! Take care. Kristi

> > This anxiety is killing me. I can't even drink a glass of water without feeling sick. I feel nauseated ALL the time. I don't sleep because I am afraid of the panic attacks. They come every night. Terror, inability to breathe, throat closing up, nausea, dizziness, vomiting. It's happening every night and it's happening every day. I'm taking the klonopin and it helps a little but my prescription only allows for .5mg a day so I take it sparingly. I don't want to suffer withdrawal either so I'm afraid to take alot of it. I don't have anything else. I don't have a doc. I don't know what to do. I spent two years like this about 9 years ago. I threw up several times a day, I had persistent health problems, I couldn't eat anything but lettuce. I lost 25 pounds which wasn't so bad but that put me into anorexic mode and I continued in that behaviour for quite some time after. I stayed severly underweight for years. This anxiety is causing me now to eat very little. Broth, a little water, mostly crackers. I feel horrible all the time.
