hypothyroidism and panic disorder???

My doctor was talking to me about the high number of women who have hypothyroidism also may have panic/anxiety disorder...I have been reading a lot of articles about this and have found tons of info to support this...I have had hypothyroidism since I was six years old and suffered panic attacks as a child into the present...this has also stunted my growth also....was wondering if anyone else who has panic disorder if they to have hypothyroidism???

I am hypo thyroid and have been for twenty years. I have never had a panic attack out of withdrawal.

I'm hypo and I didn't have panic attacks but did have a lot of fear and depression. I heard there are diets that help with thyroid dysfunction but I did not get into it yet

I am Hyper....no anxiety. The endo got me in range within a few weeks while my regular doc worked on it for four years and that resulted in nothing. Remind me to never see him again.

Interesting to see that so many have it though...

I wonder this too...my mom used a form of benzos her whole life and all of us have it....I guess back then they called benzos mamas lil helpers....kinda interesting

Dr. Ashton says that benzo w/d affects the endocrine system....so that includes the thyroid gland.

I have hyperthyroidism, currently in remission. I never had a real panic attack until after I was prescribed Klonopin and Lexapro as a 'treatment plan' by my endocrinologist.

 

I know my thyroid symptoms will most likely flare during w/d, but I can't allow that fear to stop me. This w/d is moving forward, whether I live or die. I need to know I tried to do absolutely everything I could before I check out of this pain body.
