If the drugs you originally took had a long half-life, they could have remained in your system long enough to interact with the new drugs.
I think eating unhealthy is temporarily comforting for those who feel sick or depressed. When I am sick I tend to eat worse myself. I tell myself I feel bad physically so I deserve to treat myself with something tasty. That's just the wrong mindset, and I have gotten a lot better about that.
So what's the plan going to be going forward? Back on the old drugs? Different thyroid drugs? | I didnt switch immedietely but weened myself of the old drugs as the doctor prescribed. It was not the thyroid medication that was giving me those problems, but the anti-anxiety medication. I am back on 2 of my old drugs, have quit one and I feel very good. The thing is that it isnt even sure that I need to be on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs anymore, because my mental health has gotten so much better. I just have to see what happens. I would rather be a little anxious with a clear mind, then depressed and groggy on medication... |
So what's holding you back from giving it a try without the drugs? Sounds to me like you have the confidence to do just fine without them, and worst case scenario is if things don't work out without the drugs, you could always go back on them again.
