thyroid disorder from interferon

[Guest guest]

I have a thyroid test coming up and i am a bit worried as i have gained

7 pounds in 3 weeks and am constantly hungry and craving sugar. at

first when i started tx on interferon i had no appitite. Could this be

an over or under active thryoid, or could it just be the antidepressant

and benzo sleep med i am taking. Either way i guess i will know when i

get my test results back.

i got on the restoril and it seems to be doing the trick for sleep.

7 lbs in 3 weeks isnt really allot ,lol shoot I gain 5 just looking at a piece of candy . But thyroid problems can occur with prolonged treatment . I have treated for 15 months at one time and my thryoid is still working well. So don't worry at least until the results are in .

extra hot fudge.
