Anxiety and Stress Disorders |
Anxiety caused by borderline hyperthyroid07/04/2008 11:01PM |
My daughter suffers from sever anxiety. She recently had a thyroid test and the level was .33 then six weeks later it was .66. I was told the normal range is .45 to 4.5. So she wouldn`t be treated until the test was out of range consistantly. She is taking BuSpar (7.5 mg bid) and Xanax as needed for anxiety. My question is why can`t they treat her for the overactive thyroid and maybe her anxiety symptoms would go away? What is a good anxiety medicene? She has taken prozac in the past and it quit working and on lexapro she was zoned out most of the time.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. This question would be better answered in the Thyroid Diseases topic. Please look in that topic for an answer to your question.
