I had a breakdown in Feb from stress from my companies. Went to the hospital several times, was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Can't take SSRIs they make me ill. I tried escitolopram and Prozac both inquit after a week. I take Seroquel now day and night low dose. Just trying a figure a way to end this thing from happening to me every day. A friend suggested getting my thyroid tested, he said his was low and his thyroid medicine made his anxiety almost go away completly.

Has this happened with anyone else?

    You definitely need to have some blood work. Thyroid, celiac disease, B12, iron, ferriton.  

    On the CD test, many doctors do not test for it, but anyone with mental health issues like anxiety and depression are often first warning, that and fatique. There are many symptoms but you may only have mild symptoms to one or two and none of the others.

    Hope you feel better soon 💙
