I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for about a year.I was put on seroxat 20mg in july and have manged to calm my symptoms a fair bit.I do still get bad days but they are bearable.For about 10 months i have been putting on weight but as i was feeling ill i didnt worry about it.Just lately i have been on a strict diet and doing a lot of exercise but my weight is still rising.This is very unusual for me. I thought it may be to do with the seroxat so went to the doctor. His thoughts were that i have an underactive thyroid and has sent me for blood tests. Reading up on UT i have realised it can actually cause anxiety so this could be my cause of anxiety all along.
Has anybody else linked anxiety to thyroid problems??
