> You know I feel as Racer does for different reasons. I feel like a total failure cause meds don't help me do the opposite of what they seem to do for others that they post. And for various reasons, age, money, physical conditions and I don't understand that article on thyroid. Guess I'm stupid. But my husband said if he knew I'd get sick which was when the thyroid condition started he would never have married me as he's younger. I warned him I would age faster than him. If my pdoc and others have said absolutely no to MAOI's I will listen to them and try to sort my thyroid endos and internists recommendations out first. And that is not easy the internist is an associate professor at Chapel Hill and the endos arent'. Internist says keep dose the same endo says lower it. So I'm in utter chaos. Can a med fix this. I say no. Sure it could drug me so I can't think can't anyway. And backpain is excruciating my guess is besides the degenerative discs and arthritis its anxiety. Uggg don't get old. Phillipa
The falacy in your argument is that your p-doc keeps you on the same regemin.Why did you stop the deplin as it has no sides? what was there to lose by staying on it? I think you may be confusing yourself.
Luvox + valium = status quo.
The combo is just not working. If pain is a big issue in your life you may need more than motrin. Pain can cause depression. Take care of your thyroid issues. Your p-doc should address your anxiety with different meds. Either more valium or something other med.Maybe low dose narcotics if your pain is severe. Even when your thyroid was okay you complained of severe anxiety and depression. You ride a bike so you also exercise. Anxiety and depression damage the body physically. I'm not saying you need an maoi but you need to do more than get your thyroid in balance. As Scott said the clock is ticking...
