Forgot to say. The Thyroid meds have not been easy to take, and are not a complete answer for me..and very hard to withdraw from for most, so unless you do have physical hypothyroid symptoms that you need to correct or blood tests that indicate a need, I would be inclined to try the tyrosine first. Also the thyroid meds may increase your anxiety..they did with me. Thyroid meds "tax" already stressed out adrenals.
Perhaps you may just need tyrosine to help cope with an SSRI and not get the ear schreeeeing? Or an anti anxiety med..up to your doc and you of course.
Knowing what I know now, I would have tried that route first...but get the tests if you can..like I said at least the TPO antibodies(or anti microsomal) and TSH. That will at least let you know where you stand.
Also thinking about it, my ear ringing stopped about the time I stopped taking antiD's too, only I'm not completely certain which ones as it occurred between 1997 ands 2000..and doc and me didn't keep notes.All I can go by is the dates I got the tablets filled at the chemists and a guess.
Twin?
