Hi there -

I've been diagnosed as hypothyroid, but when I tried to treat it with an extremely low dose of armour (half of the lowest dose pill) for a week, it sent me absolutely hyper.

It was like I was about to get shot or something. That's how revved up I was.

I stopped it asap and have been seeing a new doc about it but have yet to venture back into treatment.

During this time I've never been able to completely calm down. On a GOOD day I feel like I've downed a pot of coffee, even if I haven't touched caffeine.

I was put on antidepressants, but still not seeing much relief so I saw a psychiatrist, who to my pleasant surprise is a holistic doc.

She thinks it's my adrenals that are pumping out the cortisol and that's why I'm so jumpy all the time and can't tolerate any thyroid meds at the moment.

I'm following some of her suggestions and waiting to start on another supplement soon, to hopefully get this under control..

I'm just wondering if anyone else here has had a similar experience in any way here, and how they conquered it.

I really want to feel calm again, and I want to treat my thyroid as I feel like I need to get everything in balance so I can feel good again, and hopefully without the aid of antidepressants!
