I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and put on Synthroid. For the past week or so, I have been battling constant anxiety, to the point where I feel like i'm going insane. I have had feelings of depression along with the anxiety. I am very weak, get cold very easily, very low appetite, un-motivated to do anything, some slight stiffness in my knees, but the worst would have to be the anxiety. It's a severe nervous feeling in my mind, that causes heart palpitations, panic and sweats. It's crippling. I get nervous about going out or something, and when i'm away from home, if I think about it, I panic and just want to retreat to my bed to deal with it. It's my second day of being on Synthroid, and it will hopefully work itself out when the medication takes effect. I just gotta keep strong, keep telling myself that this WILL pass, and that patience is a virtue. I'll get back to feeling like my old self.

I am suprised that a lot of the articles that I am finding don't even mention the impotance of T3 as well! I am hypothyroid and going through horrible anxiety, as well as very sore legs. I am trying to get my doc to prescribe T3 as well as the T4 (Levoxyl) that I am already on. She has insisted on another blood test, which I understand can show normal levels and still still be low on T3. From everything I have read, T3 is the key to feeling "right" again. This feeling sucks and I will keep going until I find someone to prescribe T3 for me. I am a 41 year old male and feel like I'm 70. I bend down and can't hardly get back up. Suicidal sometimes, but would never do it I don't think. Anxious, feel like I am going to die any minute. Anybody with hypothyroidism that reads this, please search Google for "Hypothyroidism and T3", and learn everything you can about your condition!
