and found out my chloresterol was pretty high. went from 188 to 218. which i kno it would cuz of all the holiday eating. and my thyroid was a little high. so was prescribed levothyroxine for thyroid an simvastatin for chloresterol. was wondering by taking the thyroid med would it help at all with anxiety maybe since its been off. not really wanting to be takings so many pills. already on ativan for anxiety an should be taking my zoloft for antidepressant but damn i dont want to be taking so many different pills a day. im only 22 damn think id be 80 with all these pills i take.

Hi Zach
yeah I am on the same thyroid meds and it helped me ALOT. when your thyroid is off it messes up all your other necessary functions.
That med totally got rid of the palpatations I was having in my heart and my dizziness and it also brought my cholesterol numbers down, its common for Thyroid disorders to throw everything else out of whack. The only thing my doc did different that yours was to have me on the thyroid meds for a 6 week period to see if my cholesterol came down. And sure enough it did so I didn't need the cholesterol meds.
So I just now am taking thyroid meds and my anti-depressants and nothing else.
It may not feel like that big a deal but I bet you will start feeling much better real soon.
Take care. Also I am sure some more knowledgeable than I will suggest you change your diet and limit red meats and fats for sure.
Take care and feel better soon.
Jill~
