Anxiety, Depression, and Thyroid Issues: Seeking Advice

In what particular ways did your physical health worsen?

Many medications like antidepressants can make you dehydrated even if you are drinking plenty of water. It's good to rule dehydration out, but that shouldn't be the end of the conversation. Some people tolerate Celexa better than Lexapro when it comes to side effects. These two medications are very similar. Lexapro is older so it's often one of the first antidepressants that doctors will try. I was someone who tolerated Celexa better! However, recently I started it again and a few days later collapsed from hypotension. My doctor said that dehydration was likely one of the factors involved.

I have. I now have meds for all them. Open mind is always good thing.

I'm open to trying new meds, although I can get really nervous about it.

Blood work has helped me know what supplements to be on. For example, magnesium, a calming chemical, if you're low in could be adding to the depression and anxiety. Blood work also ruled out thyroid issues for me.

Definitely do blood work

I just want to know if anyone out there has experienced similar things

I think you should talk to a doctor about it because it's affecting your physical health
