Support Groups
Close Hypothyroidism
I'm so glad to have found this site, very supportive bunch of people here helping one another. Was diagnosed with Hypo 2/09 but have a feeling had it for a long time. Unfortunately I think that because I've struggled with depression and anxiety my docs have automatically assumed I needed antidepressants, and so did I. I just tapered myself off of Effexor, which is no easy feat, and am hoping that once I can get my Thyroid situation under control, can start to feel human again!
Treatments
- Synthroid Not Working
- Tried it for 3 months, and felt no change.
- Armour Thyroid Not Working
- allergic
- Synthroid Not Working
- Tried it for 3 months, and felt no change.
Close Anxiety
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Only tried a few times but had wonderful results with it! I highly recommend it.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Don't do it enough but prayer/ meditation is very powerful. Keeps me grounded- and when I meditate or pray I think about other people, so it keeps the focus off me, which is a great thing ;)
- Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
- This has always been a challenge for me- I automatically tend to be quite negative, and my goal is to change this!
Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)
I am hypothyroid~ just diagnosed in Feb of 2009, and I believe I finally now know why my pms has always been so awful. At this point I don't know what to do about it except treat the underlying cause- but it feels as though I can't function for 1 1/2 weeks a month- so exhausted, very moody, mean, impatient, can't stop eating, depressed very anxious, insomnia, you name it.
Treatments
- Evening Primrose Oil Not Working
- I took it for about a year but really didn't notice a difference.
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- Good for cramps. The only thing that workds for me I take 600800 mg.
Open Depression
Have been depressed for years and years. I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, which I now believe is causing a lot of the depression- I did feel some relief from that, but as I have been in the midst of a major depressive episode for the past 6 months, I think I need to be honest about it. Whatever the cause is it doesn't matter. One thing I learned is to NOT fight it- but the thing is to not let it knock you down either. Pretending to be happy makes it worse.
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for a couple of months but stopped working.
- Effexor Not Working
- Took it off and on for many years, just tapered off (what a nightmare) am glad to be off. Worst withdrawals ever.
- Positive Thinking Too Soon to Tell
- This is something I really need to try, I tend to be quite negative, jaded and cynical. This is a challenge!
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Was in Therapy for years and finally realized that I am done with it.
- Trazodone Not Working
- never worked made me feel panicked.
- Wellbutrin Considering
- With the other meds I take I cannot take this medication, too stimulating, made me a bit manic.
- Writing Working / Worked
- When I write I always feel a bit better.
- Zoloft Not Working
- Took it a long time ago and caused too many side effcts & had no effect on depression.
