But none of the drugs you are on directly antagonise acetylcholine receptors to any great degree.I think the thing I find most baffling is that I have been on all these meds for years. However, it has only been recently that my thyroid has swung to the hyperthyroid end. 25 years ago I had radioactive iodine treatment and was in thyroid balance without meds for about 20 of those years. Then I went slightly hypothyroid and the doctor started me first on synthroid and a few years later added the cytomel. Since he has asked me to discontinue the cytomel I will find out soon enough if it is the culprit.
