Sheila he's right about the klonopin but maybe switch to a less depressing benzo and still take it as you have been. I didn't know you had thyroi issues or if did forgot. But lithium isn't usually used with thyroid as can cause worsening of conditon. That explains the hair loss. As hypothyroidism also causes it. Also the thyroid can cause depresssion/anxiety. And as thyroid levels fluctuate the ups and down you feel. Also notorious for feeling tired. Are you taking a thyroid med? I think this doc sounds like he's also covering the medical end. Phillipa
