anxiety and hypothyroid and antidepressants

[Sarahpoppe232]

hi there

I came off sertraline 3 months ago as had dizziness - been so anxious ever since

Not really got any answers from all my explorations so having to go Calc on antidepressants for this raised blood pressure , high cortisol , increased red blood cell size and heart chest pain - I have done a heart monitor but not got results.

So does anyone know which antidepressant is best for thyroid issues or is there another solution

Have fluoxetine and Citalipram but not sure which one to start - really wanted to avoid this but am left with no choice right now

Was going to add T3 bit can’t stand the anxiety anymore

Really appreciate your help with this

I know this sounds unbelievable but a beta blocker may help. I take it for blood pressure but it eases my mind alittle.?.a lot lawyers use it to stay calm in courtroom and surgeons use it to keep their hands steady.?.as far as antiperspirants go 8 heard great things about Lexapro.?j7st I d3as but I'm definitely not a psychiatrist so talking to your Dr and just tell them but symptoms and go from ther3....anothe4 thing to consider is you may not have had tim3 to adjust to being off zoloft

I don't know any connection between antidepressants and thyroid.I have to avoid gluten because of my thyroid. Your body can't tell the difference and it'll attack your thyroid when gluten is eaten alot. I take the natural supplement DIM for thyroid. And I think the low dose naltroxen I'm on helps. Have you tried natural antidepressants they work pretty good for me? Google em see what you think

I have just spotted this post of yours too. If not thyroid, you may be experiencing antidepressants withdrawal if you did not come off the medication very very gradually.
