Try to keep it short I have been dealing with bipolar disorder scents I was a young kid with no meds…. panic attacks and anxiety (GAD and Social) came on later on and I had never said anything just ketp it all in trying to deal with it…Exercise mediation and singing songs helped for awhile but is loosing its effect and adding to the stress I want to seek treatment NOW before it gets any worse…. I don’t have a Dr to go see and talk to im sure I cant go to a immediate care center so how the hell do I get treated?? Try to find a random Dr?? wont he think that Im just out to get pills?? I know some crack heads do that shit I just want and need help…
Has anyone here dealt with a Hyperthyroid? I have been having very bad anxiety attacks, and like these real rushes of heat that run through my body, and my hands and feet get real clammy feeling. At first I was diagnosed with GAD and started seeing a therapist who put me on a few meds. The meds help as far as calming me down during these episodes, but she also recommended I get a thyroid panel.
Could all of this suffering of anxiety, also fatigue and lack of sleep be related to an over active thyroid? I’ve even noticed that my hair has become somewhat brittle, as well as my nails. I eat a lot, but don’t gain weight, but don’t lose any weight either.
I have an appointment with my PCP tomorrow, and will request a thyroid panel, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.
I am going to be so ticked off if I’ve been seeking therapy for something physical all this time. It’s been hell!
And if it is an over active thyroid, how do they treat that? Does it go away with treatment, or is it controlled with meds?
Thanks Everyone for your feedback..
I have been on lexapro 20 mg for almost 2 years because of depression, but recently I have been feeling like maybe its not working??? i am wondering what actions to take to get on a good reliable medication that will treat these symptoms:constant tension, worry, (i also have been diagnosed with adult add)-the lack of concentration and drive to do daily activities, low energy, some days i will only get 2 hours of sleep while others I could sleep all day and still wake up tired as hell. I am always tired, and lately i think i have been having panic attacks…in a stressful situation-mostly when i interact with other people. I get this like paranoid feeling that I doing something stupid (maybe i am who knows, i sometimes care…sometimes i don’t) or that other people are thinking that I am crazy by the way they look at me or talk to me. i know its wierd. But the anxiety is really start to eat away at me here lately. I don’t understand why this happens, i used to be the cont’d…….
I used to be such a sociable interactive person…but the medication just is not working. I have heard of some medications to take this edge off (or chemically balance?) me, but what are some to recommend to talk to my doctor about?
