> Hard to make a call on this one. I think you're looking to hear that thyroid problems cause psch problems. I don't think we can necessarily draw that conclusion. It's more likely that the meds are causing the thyroid problems. Psych meds seem to mess up hormones in general.
>I was diagnosed with low thyroid before I started taking psych meds. At the same time, I've never noticed much difference between being on thyroid meds and off them. Occasionally I've stopped just to test the results, and I could not distinguish between being on synthroid or off it in terms of mood, energy level, propensity to illness or anything. My test results come back showing low thyroid function, but I'd never know it empirically.
