I have been having rapid
heartbeat,shortness of breath,weakness in
arms and legs,and extreme feelings of
anxiety. Dr is treating me for anxiety
but also thyroid issues. I was taking
150mcg of synthroid and was hyperthyroid,
he took me off synthroid and within 3
weeks I was hypothyroid. He put me on
112mcg synthroid and now I am having
symptoms of rapid heartbeat,shortness of
breath etc.! Now taking xanax and
synthroid. Help.

I don't know about the thyroid thing, but
that all sounds like anxeity. Has the
xanax worked?

The xanax does help, but I worry about
taking medications that could possibly be
addictive. My mom has struggled with
addiction to prescription medications for
a long time,but has now been clean for
almost 2 years. I don't want to end up
with the same problem, even though i'm
very careful to take it only as
prescribed. Thanks.
