In reply to thyroid meds for depression, posted by wishingstar on April 21, 2007, at 12:41:47
Hi WS,
I had a slight problem with my thyroid after the the birth of my 1st child. I was showing normal but very much close to the line, so my family doctor prescribed synthroid and it helped with my metabolism a lot! He said something about just because the test shows you in the normal range, if you are close to the line, it is okay.
And it did wonders for my energy level. ;-)But I eventually had to go off of it after the birth of my 2nd child because I was flying way too high 6 weeks after my 2nd child( a year later) was born. Then did a test and took me off because I wasn't near the line of the normal range. Well this was over 11 years ago, so maybe things have changed.
Oh, and as far as weight changes, I started to lose weight after taking the meds, but then they took me off it and I am still trying to lose that weight.
