Hi Noa - I've just read & tried to understand all this thyroid info. I'm having trouble understanding it. When my psych (is that what I see being called pdoc?) suggested Celexa I forgot to mention the following in the health history that I gave him: About 3 years ago I went to an irridologist who said there was something happening with my thyroid & to have my doctor check it. The blood work showed no TSH being produced (no Thyroid Stimulating Hormone being produced by my pituitary). Further tests by a specialist showed that my thyroid was overactive - hyperthyroid & suggested irradiation therapy (basically killing my thyroid with radiation & taking thyroid medicine from then on). I decided 'no, not yet' & my own doctor monitored me with blood tests while I worked with a naturopathic doctor, using various herbs, etc. My TSH got back within normal. I'm feeling nervous after reading all this stuff about T3/T4 etc. I forgot about having had a thyroid problem & am now wondering if I should have had thyroid tests before beginning Celexa.

Might thyroid problems have been contributing to my anxiety/worrying/weepiness/obsessiveness?

Does hyperthyroid contribute to depression, do you know?

Would Celexa affect thyroid levels?
Any info would be very welcome. Thanks
Kath
