Crazy symptoms

For 8 months I have not felt like myself...I would have chronic times throughout days when I would feel between my eyes that I was zoning out...although I was able to function through it.  I have had a head CT, Sinus CT, Brain MRI, ENG with ABR, and more recently my thyroid removed due to an enlarging goiter with a new hypoechoic nodule with some microcalcifications.  The surgeon told my family that it was very inflamed.  My levels have never been abnormal.  So now I am taking calcium and magnesium supplements along with 100 mcg of Synthroid daily.  I was so hoping that this thyroid removed would explain all my problems and that the sensation that I'd been having in my head would be gone, but it has returned and caused anxiety attacks with some depression.  My family doctor has prescribed 1/2 .5 of generic Klonopan to take as needed for the month, but she told me to only take it when needed.  So, since I have that funny feeling everyday, I need the Klonopan each day b/c it does seem to relieve that feeling. So, does that mean that my feeling could have been anxiety all along.  She also wants me to start Citalopram 10 mg nightly for depression.  The only thing causing my depression/anxiety is this funny feeling of not being well.  I have not started the antidepressent because I'm afraid to.  Any thoughts?

Hi I saw your setting "crazy symptoms" and I have some of the same ones. Definately the eye stare thing... if I'm watching tv I find myself staring at it not watching it its like I have to concentrate not to stare. Is that what you feel like? Also you metioned head sensations- what are those like for you? I have this feeling that there is cold water on my head or sometimes it feel like I have a headache pain the only lasts for a second... just wondering if this what you are feeling. I also have hypothyroidism and an enlarged goiter. Which I might be having removed not sure yet... So not sure if this is related to that or not, and I definatrly have anxiety...so I'm hoping also that all this is from that.??
