> Bleauberry you found lamictal helpful for anxiety and panic? How come when my TSH is high I get the anxiety and panic and then burn out on the anxiety? Love Phillipa
Weak fatigued adrenal glands cannot handle it. Simple as that. They try with what little they have, but in short order they are pooped out.
Your TSH shouldn't be high. I thought they were taking care of your thyroid stuff. Geez. I sure wish you had some better quality care. You deserve it. Your suffering, as far as I have seen the last few years, is equal part illness and equal part insufficient medical skill.
If I recall, you said you have Hashimotos? If that is true, then you will go through alternating random patterns of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. You will need a doc who can make adjustments quickly and knows how to go with the flow and not hesitate or procrastinate. On your part, it may be unrealistic to expect to take the same meds and same doses every day like clockwork. You may instead need to tailor your specific choices of meds, doses, and times of day you take them, to fit your symptoms that are happening right here and now. The only med I am aware of that shows evidence of stabilizing Hashimotos symptoms is Tegretol.
