Hi all I appreciate any advice you can offer. I have had been hyper in the past and my most recent labs have my tsh at 0.4 and t3 and t4 normal range. I am feeling edgy latly and a whole list of hyper symptoms. Is this just anxiety or my thyroid again?

it could be anxiety caused by the worry about your thyroid, and the sympoms youve been having are enough to make you anxious! keep pestering your docto, a short course of proprananol may help..just because yourresults are normal, doesnt mean your not suffering x good luck x

Thank for the advice. It's reassuring. My doc has pescribed Paxil, till we figure this out. I have not started it because I am not in any way depressed and I dont feel anxious all the time. Maybe 10 % of the time the other 90 I am fine. Have you had experience with Paxil. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

im glad you went to the doctors, but keep on at him!!
i had paxil after my 2nd daughter was born and had really bad post natal depression, it was very effective... i tried it more recently but it just blew my head off. i felt terrible and was so so tired so i stopped it.. maybe i wasnt poorly enough for it!!! however its good stuff if you can bear with the side effects (it takes about 3 weeks to start working, and in the mean time it can make you feel worse),.. either way, dont let that put you off, these things effect us all differently, and it could be just what you need!!
