What to do about depression lethargy
I have been in this bout of depression for about 8 months. I managed OK until the last one. Now I have lost interest in doing just about anything and I just want to lay on the couch and do nothing. I know this is a very bad cycle to get into, so looking for advice of others who have conquered this

gabapentin, Buspar, and sertraline
I have posted questions here before, and appreciate all the excellent help. I am currently taking 150 mg Sertraline, and my pcp added 300 mg gabapentin daily. I do not see any improvement in depression or anxiety. When I asked him, he suggested switching out gabapentin. He wants me to take Buspar with

Episodes of depression come and go
Hello wonderful people. So, I have had depression in one way or the other for many years probably more than 30 but they were not last long, perhaps a month or two. Now I have I guess what they call persistent depression ; it comes and goes. My episodes usually last 10 days and then I might be lucky

Recently diagnosed with OCD
hi everyone I have been recently diagnosed with OCD. I had a feeling about it before I was diagnosed cause it felt different than my general anxiety but way more intense. Medication wasn't helping. I have intrusive thoughts and fears that keep looping over and over literally feels like i am going insane

Agrophobia
Hello, I have agoraphobia, but I only have fear of long roads that I cannot go out in an emergency. This situation has only existed for 6 months and I have come to a very good stage by facing my fears, but a psychiatrist in the country I live in said that I might have a heart attack while facing my fears

ADHD & Thyroid Disorders

After doing some research I’ve seen some articles saying you can’t take certain ADHD medications while having a thyroid disorder?? Does

Low UIBC result from bloodwork?
Hi, All. I had bloodwork done recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the low UIBC might be affecting my RLS/PLMD. Ferritin was 169 (down from very high values after a blood infusion for rls in April 2021). The UIBC was flagged as Low at 126, Iron Saturation was flagged as high: Iron 172 UIBC

cardiophobia..
..anyone else?? I’ve dealt with it (and anxiety with panic disorder) off and on for almost 20 years. I did medication for years but I am currently not taking anything. lately (the past 2 years) the anxiety I experience has been centrally focused on my heart. I’ve had many EKGs, sonogram tests, etc

Hello MS family, I pray that all are doing as well as they could. Its spring time. I know hot weather does not do the body good. In my case winter nor summer does my body good because I am affected by both hot and cold. Well my weird question is does anyone have their MS hugs in other places other

FT3 FT4 Test 4 hours after taking Tirosint?
Hi, So I always have my thyroid labs taken in the morning on an empty stomach before taking my morning Tirosint dose. I currently take 75 mcg. My recent labs show TSH at .069 (.4 - 4.5) range and FT4 1.37 (.8-1.8) range and FT3 2.58 (2.2-4) range. I know my TSH is low but I don’t feel euthyroid. I have

Acceptance
Hello everyone! I am struggling really bad with acceptance and ruminating thoughts. Long story short, my middle sister dislikes me so much (my belief is because I was treated differently by my parents and always had a close relationship with them). I also think she has a personality disorder because

How do you get the motivation to get out of bed?
I am so depressed and I can't seem to even get the motivation to get out of bed. I have no support from my family with my depression and I am so tired of my husband telling me to snap out of it. I have been unable to keep a job for no longer than 2 years which puts even more stress on my family. My

Quick update on bloods - happy with analysis but posting for interest/comparison - also CRP info?
I did manage to get the bloods done and thought it worth a quick before and after. I'm mostly happy now with how to analyse but don't know if anyone is interested in efficacy of different approaches. I've mostly followed advice I was given here, except that I could no longer get Thorn basic b's so

New paper that consolidates the notion of FT3 protection as the chief aim of the body's thyroid system
This paper is mathematical again. It tries to tie in the body's need to protect its FT3 level against disturbing pressures. The discussion and conclusion are most approachable. In short FT3 measurement is strongly recommended because of it being less sensitive to FT4 changes

As most of you can relate to, I have given up so much in my life due to RLS. Every possible RLS trigger is in fact a trigger for me. I have given up HRT, SSRIs, statins, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (I used to put fresh jalapeno peppers on EVERYTHING), sugar, all processed foods, most carbs, and the

Is physical therapy effective for Functional Neurological Disorder?
Personally, I have found physical therapy to be quite ineffective as a treatment for my FND, which centers on gait and balance. I'd like to find out what other people have experienced. Has PT helped you a great deal, somewhat, or not at all? Thanks for your input.
