> Squiggles excellent point as my whole family though very small all have anxiety issues just some don't take benzos drink instead. Self medication. And since my thyroid dose is now lower could that be why I'm so tired and maybe need less benzos? After so many years wouldn't know what normal anxiety is. Sad but true. Phillipa
Low thyroid levels are notorious for
fatigue, puffiness, slow mentation,
weight gain, lethargy, rough skin,
sleepiness - just basically slowed down
metabolism; you might look at it as
a natural tranquillizer, but it's not
good for your heart and other organs.
I'm on the low side-- not clinically but
close to hypothyroidism; lithium does that.http://www.endocrineweb.com/tests.html
