anxiety?

[trouble10]

Does anybody have a problem with thyroid and anxiety? I've read that they go hand in hand, but I would think that if my tsh was OK, then my anxiety would go away. What do you think?

I have tons of anxiety, and occasional depression and my levels are creaping higher and higher. I I cover both ends of the spectrum. I hear it is mostly with hyper, but I had a partial thyroidectomy and a lazy thyroid now. (still hypo) and still experience anxiety.I guess why I am posting is to tell you youre not alone-cuz I dont have a solution either :(

That's what I thought, but my tsh was 3.65. Is it possible to be possible at that level? One doctor wanted to lower my levo because of my symptoms but I didn't do it because of the numbers. Now I'm back to square one.

For me (and many others), low levels of TSH (hyperthyroid) increases anxiety and high levels (hypo) leads to depression.  Many, many of us are on antidepressants along with the thyroid replacement meds.
