In reply to Re: Thyroid Values - To Noa, posted by Kath on June 2, 2000, at 10:45:02
Thyroid problems are sensitive to stress, so it is possible for them to flair up when you are under more stress. This is especially true for people whose thyroid problems are a result of an autoimmune disorder, like Grave's Disease.
Celexa probably won't affect thyroid levels, other than to relieve some of the stress of depression, which could, theoretically be contributing to thyroid imbalance.
I think hyperthyroid can cause symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, obsessions, panic, etc. I do not know about depression, although I know that when I get very anxious, depression is never far behind to sort of shut off the anxiety valve.
Try reading Dr. Arem's book, The Thyroid Solution. It might give you the info you need on what tests you should possibly get, etc., and symptoms of hyperthyroid.
I agree that going to radioactive iodine treatment is not the first course of action. There are drugs that suppress the thyroid that are used effectively for hyperthyroid. My mother took something of this kind for a couple of years when she had a major flair up of hyperthyroid, and it worked for her.
(After radioactive treatment, there is a good chance of becoming hypothyroid and needing ongoing thyroid hormone replacement---this isn't such a terrible thing, but obviously other, less invasive steps should be tried first, IMHO).
Another good book for basic thyroid info is Sara Rosenthal's The Thyroid Sourcebook.

Kath, I found this checklist on Mary Shomon's website. Hope it is helpful. It does list depression as a symptom of hyperthyroid.

Hi Kath.I knew that Noa would come to the rescue. She has become pretty sharp with thyroid stuff, and has chosen a good website for you to look at. I agree with everything she said. I think she has become a sort of fireman, putting out thyroid fires up and down the board. I have a hard time understanding how she manages to do all of this. Good people.
Noa took the words right out of my mouth regarding stress. It is possible that your psychotherapy helped quite a bit to reduce chronic emotional stress, and thereby break some sort of thyroid-stress-depression-stress-thyroid cycle. (Noa taught me this). I would consider reducing stress as your second target after addressing the thyroid situation directly.
I appreciate your apprehension about disclosing such personal information. It is healthy and wise to be cautious. I can't think of a single reason why anyone would attack you for "revealing" the method of therapy you chose. Did it work?
I find Psycho-Babble to be an incredibly valuable source of information and support. There are far more good people here than bad. Well, let me restate that. There are far more good people who do good things than there are good people who do bad things.
Good luck. I'm very glad that you received the reply I hoped you would.
See ya'
- Scott

Hi Scott - Yes, the therapy did help me tremendously. I am now able to speak 'way more openly about my feelings or things that are bothering me, to my husband, my kids, & anyone, really.
Thanks for the input about reducing stress as a target. It really is a target - a little difficult right now for me. I've given more details under the thread "New at Celexa at Psycho-Babble...causes" I'm feeling hopeful though. I'm feeling very few side effects right now, and am hoping to increase the dosage soon as a higher dose helps me feel less anxious.
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it very much and feel very good about having found this site!
I hope you have a good weekend.
Kath

Kath, I haven't read this entire thread, so sorry if this repeats anything. The pituitary gland is the "master gland" of the body and it secrets tons of different hormones that effect the other hormone glands in the body. One of it's main effects is stimulating cortisol secretion from your adrenal glands on your kidneys. Over secretion due to stress can cause panic attacks, depression, mental changes, sleep difficulties, etc. Lowering your stress does put everything back in check, as long as there is no underlying health problem such as a tumor on the pituitary or adrenal glands. This could be why you felt better. HOWEVER, Graves Disease wrecks havoc on your body. It effects every single system from metabolism to vision etc. Every heard of the song "She's got Betty Davis Eyes"? Those really funky, protruding eyes? Former First Lady Barbara Bush too...both had Graves Disease. An excellent endocrinologist can give you at least 2-3 choices on how to bring your thyroid into control. Irridation is usually the last option, but sometimes it is necessary. Herbs and things are great, but in five years you don't want to find out you've had irreversable changes to your body from the effect of high thyroid. Check around for a GOOD doctor. It never hurts to go to your nearest hospital for lunch one day, and ask a couple nurses if they know him, and what they think. Awesome way to find out the real deal. Good luck! Jennifer

> I was wondering if anyone knew the effects of celexa on PMDD. I took it for approx. 4 weeks some time ago for what was diagnosed as major depression, and was pleased with it, but the price made me bow out. My doctor has suggested that pmdd might be part of my problem. Ive seen prozac and zoloft recommended as treatments but because of my favorable experience AND the lack of sexual side effects,I was hoping that celexa might be just as effective!

I began taking Celexa two months ago. The 20 mg/day dose I've been on isn't working. How soon should I see results. I've asked my doctor to increase the dose to 40 mg/day, but he is reluctant to do so. I thought I would see some improvement by now, but there hasn't been any. Any advise on increasing doses or switching to a new medicine? Thanks

> Has anyone noticed that they felt relief within 10 days.
I am just starting out on Celexa, and hope you can support me in this venture as no one else I know is on the stuf. in fact, it seems to be quite new to Ireland. I have been on Effexor for 4 years, generally 150mg XR. It was great at first but this summer I slipped into a chronic depression again. On Friday and Sat. I took half the usual dose, 75mg, then Sunday nothing, and this morning 20 mg Celexa. Let's hope for the best

Hi Martha, I've been on Celexa for almost nine months, and have been helped quite a bit by it. I do want to tell you, though, that it was not effective for me until my dosage was raised to 40 mgs. per day. Good luck! CarolAnn

Celexa didn't work for me (I've been on it about 6 months and am switching to Effexor), but it didn't have any sexual side effects for me like Paxil did (though Paxil worked). I hope it works out for you. I think all we can do is keep trying.

Hi. I started celexa 2 1/2 weeks ago and am much more functional and much less desperate. I am still feeling blah, but at least not desperate... The only physical side effect I've noticed is yawning...
I am new to meds and wonder what I can expect--will it just take away the crisis, or will it really help me to feel hopeful again?

i can say that this celexa for me anyhow has deadened the crisis, i do not feel 'whole' as of yet but i am 'hopeful'
side effects i have felt this past week being on celexa are yawning and being tired if i dont keep going...I just stop, so to conqure THAT i keep on the go during the day. cotton mouth and drinking alot more and having to use the bathroom because of that is also a side effect. rocky road still ahead but w/ encouragment from others and doctors help we can see the sunshine again.

I've been on Celexa for about 5 months without previous AD use. A crisis sent me to the doctor for some relief. I don't think I even knew I was depressed until I started feeling better. I just thought my lack of interest in life came with being a "grown up". After one week I could see a difference - even the sun seemed a little brighter. I felt like making changes and things that used to bother me just rolled off my back. I used to have really bad mornings (I've since found that that is a classical sign of depression), but now I look forward to my days and my husband doesn't get yelled at on my way out the door. He loves the difference in me. I get a little dry mouth and drink a lot of water, but that's good for you anyway, right? So does anybody know why the ban on any alcohol use? Like I said, I'm pretty new. Good luck everybody.

LouAnn, that is amazing that you are feeling so much better. Thanks for the bit of hope!
I'm new to AD also. I wonder why the difference in response for different people? Like T~, it has deadened the crisis, but I am still pretty grey...
I'm also curious about the alcohol issue--never drink, or only a small amount, or within a certain number of hours of dosage?

I am 23 and have been taking 20 mg. of Celexa for 1 yr and 8 mos. This is my first battle with depression and Celexa has really helped. I noticed results in one week. I did try to go off after 1 yr but experienced a relapse after 2 weeks so I started up again.
I have actually lost weight with Celexa and am no longer obsessed with dieting. I don't know if it's the drug or the fact that I'm not depressed that helped me shed the pounds.
The only adverse side-effect that I have experienced is the inability to achieve orgasm. This is horrible. My desire and libido is still the same, I just can't climax and I hate it. My doctor has recommended Viagra (yes, even for a woman) to be taken before intercourse. This didn't work. He also recommended taking a low dose of Wellbutrin in conjunction with Celexa. This didn't work either. I really don't like the idea of switching medications as Celexa is working just fine other than the fact that it's really a bummer for my sex-life! Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice?

Laura and T, I've had the same problem with Prozac, Luvox, and Zoloft...my pdoc changed me to Serzone and later Effexor-XR which have fewer sexual side effects, for me. Talk to your pdoc and see if you can change to a different medication. --Cindy W

Many drugs are never to be mixed with alcohol because of effects that can occur from mixing the two. Alcohol can increase the effects of many drugs. Alcohol is a depressant drug. When mixed with antidepressants harmful things could occur. It's my understanding that alcohol should never be used while a person is taking antidepressants. I've seen friends of mine, who thought they were "only drinking a small amount" while on antidepressants, end up in the emergency room because they wouldn't wake up. Also, since alcohol is a depressant, it will only increase the depressive mental state someone is already in-----may not seem like it at first, but it makes sense. I think that's why you're not supposed to mix the two.

> T~Hello Laura and T,
I too have just started using Celexa. I've been on it for about three weeks and have been amazed by it positive affects on my mood swings and feelings of anxiety. However, I do know that a common side affect of antidrepressants is a lack in sex drive; I have already experienced this in the short time I have been on this medication. Do either of you, or anyone else, know whether or not this a side effect that will diminish once I have been on this medication for any given amount of time. I would hate to give up the peacefullness I have finally acheived. Any feedback would be greatly appreicated - Allie

I did experience the same side effect but it did lessen with time for me. The first two months were the worst. I still experience it sometimes but I feel that it takes the same amount of discipline as it did when I was not on Celexa to not gain weight.
