Thyroid Medication & Antidepressant & Anxiety Medication & Sleeping Pills

I don't take anything for thyroid. But I do take Celexa for depression (it's gluten-free) and klonopin. Both klonopin and lorazepam are addictive but what that really means is the there is a potential for needing higher doses to achieve the same effect and when you go off you have to taper slowly.

The Celexa also comes in liquid form which I took for a long time because I figured I'd absorb more that way. I still take it when I get glutened.

Paxil is known for weight gain, as is Zoloft, but so is Celexa and for some reason I never gaiined an ounce on it. All three are very calming drugs and you can probably easily get them in liquid form or compunded. One yyou go on one of those, you may not even need anything for anxiety. Since SSRI's work on both depression and anxiety.

Rusla- Wellbutrin actually did give me an extra head- but in a good way- one that worked! :P

I take 40 mg of paxil and 20 mg of elavil. The paxil helps with depression. The elavil helps me with pain at night. The side effects of both elavil and paxil are minor for me, but the most annoying one is the craving for sweets. I have a sweet tooth the size of the Empire state building and at this time can only have chocolate. Believe me, I eat alot of it. tara

My dr. started me on Paxil, and I did not do well on it (although I know others who are fine on it). My dr. switched to Lexapro and I LOVE it. I feel like a million bucks!! I do not know if it has any of the ingredients you are sensitive too though.

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
