> Oh my gosh, now I find out I'm on TWO meds (Lithium and now Seroquel) that can LOWER thyroid?!!! ACCCK. Thankfully, I'm on a low dose of each, my pdoc has me on Synthroid, and my thyroid came back from being low to being within the "normal" range.

Janelle, I really don't know. I suppose an occasional person could have that problem on a low dose of Seroquel. I was on Seroquel 25mg bedtime for a little while. The best thing IMO, would be to get your free T3/T4 and TSH levels checked every so often to make sure it isn't happening. (that goes for lithium too) You will just have to do the blood work and get the data. The proof is in the pudding.
