> You said that so well. Yes for times in a person's life they need different things sometimes meds, sometimes treating the medical condition that is causing the mental anguish. I will always need something for my anxiety or quick trigger negative thoughts but also need to talk myself down. Even my pdoc says the thyroid loop is the basis of my problems and until it's straightened out which hopefully it will be I have to hang in there and try my best. I find learning about meds on this board is very educational. I'm thrilled that you were able after many trials to be med free . Congratulations on that. I hope one day minus the synthroid to join you. Hope you take this post in the positive way I mean to convey it to you. I also do a lot of talking with others and find so many on meds and then they get off and feel better. But then others will need something for life. As we're all different. And congrats again to you.

What do you mean by the "thyroid loop"? I am very interested. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, but it is now regulated with synthroid. I was hoping that it was the cause of my anxiety and that I wouldn't have to take anxiety med. That now seems not to be the case as I have continued to battle anxiety. I have heard that even after thryoid treatment, that it can take years for your body to recover.
