Hi GG. I am sorry the beast is back. You know, many people feel decreased anxiety on Parnate. It's KNOWN to be activating, but it isn't always the case. I think you should give it shot.

BTW, how did ever get a doctor to give you Armour? I would really like to try that for my hypothyroidism. Do you have to have more frequest blood levels done.

Topomax was a disaster for me - acne, loss of brain cells, UTI and eventually psychosis. What a trip!

((( GG ))) Hang in there. Let us know what you decide or what change is made. I really think you should try Parnate because since you feel like crap now, well ....

Thinking of you. I wish I could be more help to you since you have helped me so much.

Maxime
