Guest guest Posted December 17, 2000 Report Share Posted December 17, 2000 Does anyone know what the more thorough thyroid test is called? I have a dr. appointment next week and plan on asking for an anti-depressant, and thanks for all the helpful suggestions along those lines - I really appreciate all your help. I've also been on synthroid for a long time and am suspecting a more serious change in my thyroid activity. This goes right along with the depression and weight changes that I've been experiencing. I know the dr. usually does an annual thyroid test, a T4 maybe? I really don't remember. I'm sure I need a more thorough work up but I don't know what to ask for, does anyone have any suggestions?
