I have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid.

I do suffer with bad anxiety & it’s been getting worse over the last year.

Can taking thyroxine help the anxiety as I’m living on adrenaline!!!

Yes, it is very very common. Your doctor must determine the correct dose of levothyroxine. In my case I was told to start it slowly. It will completely correct the problem.

Not what you're looking for?
