I too am sufferer of anxiety and have tried controlling it with food mostly. I tried cypro, theanine, daily carrot, charcoal, coping strategies, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have come to conclusion that these are all plasters albeit very helpful. If running on stress hormones means that thyroid is suppressed, the most natural thing to me seems to try supplementing thyroid first to really address the root cause. Obviously while eating well. At first I was afraid of supplementing thyroid and it seemed all so complicated and I think that's what puts lots of people off. However with Haidut's tyromix it seems much simpler now to understand rat dosing. I have ordered some for my rat and will start with the smallest once daily dose whilst watching temps/pulse/hunger/cravings. Although it requires a bit of effort rather than mindlessly popping pills it seems the most reasonable obvious thing to address first. Anyhow my rat is still waiting for her thyroid so I'm not speaking from experience but it is just a conclusion that I came to after resisting the idea for so long. Rat spent lots of time outside over the summer and experienced much improved sleep, digestion, forgot anxiety. Automn came, staying indoors, feeling cold and anxiety came back with a vengeance, so that made me reevaluate my fear regarding supplementing thyroid.
