The SSRIs and the Thyroid--Proof

Ok, here it is, and I got it from someone posting it on another site. I've been trying to find this forever, or every now and then anyway. This is proof positive. Some of you belong to the site that posted it, so if it's a repeat, I apologize ahead of time. I thought it was important enough to go to as many groups as possible.

One of the people on my CA site really liked that article and said it

explained many things about her taking prozac.

Would you believe that I was first introduced to Prozac right back on the

first day that I was ever given a thyroid med? The doctor at that time

thought that I needed that " extra boost " , so that I wouldn't be feeling the

xtra impact of low thyroid any more, at least until the thyroid took effect.

Aaaaaaaa!!! My eyesight was VERY strange during the 3 wks or so that I took

it. My brain felt like I could probably be awake and alert forEVER. I

could see more sharply and in fine detail, and that was only a few days on

it! In other words, I was very quickly getting more and more aggressive (in

a bad way!), and it reminds me very much of mania. For those who have

experienced this, you would know what I mean when I say that I was feeling

" superior " and more daring, etc.....not just more confident and outgoing.

Then, it was during the second and third week that I began to get tireder

and tireder on the stuff. Now I know why. It was just accelerating the

hypothyroid process I was already in, while my thyroid was trying to correct

it all. Way later, when I now know that I was chronically worse and

undertreated, all these other SSRIs just made me feel more sick and dead

feeling.
