Amiodarone, an anti-arythmic drug containing 37.2 % of organic iodine, may induce hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Dysthyroidism can occur during treatment, but also many months after its discontinuation in patients with underlying thyroid disorders, as well as in subjects with apparently normal glands. We report the case of a patient who developed hypothyroidism followed by hyperthyroidism, related to amiodarone therapy. 

Substance-Induced Anxiety Disorder. Numerous medicines and drugs of abuse can produce panic attacks. Panic attacks can be triggered by central nervous system stimulants such as cocaine, methamphetamine, caffeine, over-the-counter herbal stimulants such as ephedra, or any of the medications commonly used to treat narcolepsy and ADHD, including psychostimulants and modafinil. Thyroid supplementation with thyroxine (Synthroid) or triiodothyronine (Cytomel) can rarely produce panic attacks. Abrupt withdrawal from central nervous system depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines can cause panic attacks as well. This can be especially problematic with short-acting benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax), which is an effective treatment for panic disorder but which has been associated with between dose withdrawal symptoms.
