Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been struggling with anxiety, depression, and obesity since I was 16. I have had these problems my entire life, but they have gotten significantly worse after having my baby five years ago. After seeing an interview with a woman whose story sounds very similar to mine and hearing that she found relief when she saw an endocrinologist, I would like to consult an endocrinologist to know if my symptoms are due to it. Currently, I am taking tablet Wellbutrin XL 300 mg daily, tablet Buspirone 50 mg twice daily, tablet Prozac 20 mg daily, and tablet Klonapin 0.25 mg daily. However, there is not much relief. I have been on tablets Brintellix, Lexapro, and Zoloft in the past. I would like any information that you can offer on my condition.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
You are currently on anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications. As far as the endocrine disorder is concerned, hyperthyroidism can be ruled out. However, for that symptoms like diarrhea, palpitations, heat intolerance, etc., have to be present.
To rule out hyperthyroidism, I suggest you get the below tests done:
Kindly revert with the reports so that I can guide you better.
Thank you.
