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.

      An observation about psyllium husk

      By transplantwest · Posted

      Psyllium can't sit for more than a minute in the water or it is like drinking sludge. Swallowed fairly soon means it's more like an flavorless undermixed protein smoothie. Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either. Also starting the Psyllium in small doses, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to tolerate the fiber change.

      Gluten attack severe insomnia and anxiety?

      By DanMc · Posted

      BuddhaBar, I came across this thread while searching online for celiac insomnia (having also scared myself stupid by finding out about fatal insomnia) and it did bring me some piece of mind as it so closely matches my own experience. I know this thread is old now, I hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting your experience.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      By cristiana · Posted

      That's great news, @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour.  And you might find that if you do have asthma, keeping your reflux under control may help, if my experience is anything to go by.

      Quick update I ended going to a clinic they heard me wheezing and gave me a steroid shot I’m feeling much better now and I’m planing on getting reevaluated for asthma as the clinic doctor is thinking it might be that based on how I reacted to the steroid. But he couldn’t diagnose.  thanks again to everyone that applied (still seeing the gastrointestinal doctor too!)
