[da...] Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Dr. Ashton says that benzo w/d affects the endocrine system....so that includes the thyroid gland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[al...] Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have hyperthyroidism, currently in remission. I never had a real panic attack until after I was prescribed Klonopin and Lexapro as a 'treatment plan' by my endocrinologist. I know my thyroid symptoms will most likely flare during w/d, but I can't allow that fear to stop me. This w/d is moving forward, whether I live or die. I need to know I tried to do absolutely everything I could before I check out of this pain body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
