Benzos and BPD

From the biological unhappiness site:

No medication should be given without proper medical supervision. This is particularly true for the drugs used to treat the borderline disorder. Some medicines make the symptoms of borderline worse, especially amitryptilline (Elavil) and alprazolam (Xanax). Possibly a third of borderlines may suffer from low thyroid (hypothyroidism) – despite a normal ‘TSH’ blood test. They may need to take thyroid medication.

My BP does take xanax and it makes everything MUCH worse. Also, she has thyroid issues which seemed co-incident with her first really BP-like behavior. Still, it is difficult to separate the meds, hormones and behaviorial aspects.
