Synthroid and Depression

by trin911, Apr 13, 2009 11:58AM
I need some help.  I have been diagnosed with Severe Clinical Depression since 1995.  I havfe gone through several different types of anti-depressants, and now I am on Celexa (40mg).  About 2 months ago, I was diagnosed as also being Hypo-Thyroid and am on 150mcg of Synthroid.  Now it seems my emotions are all over the place!!!  Like my depression is getting worse even though I feel better from the Synthroid.  Has this happened to anyone else?  And does ANYONE have any suggestions???????/

Most likely the result of your depression is because your level of thyroid function is still off.

Most doctors will miss the appropriate Dx of hypothyroidism and leave it to a Dx if depression instead. It's sometimes a vicious cycle to get proper treatment

I would encourage you to re evaluate your depression as a possiblity of  continued hypothyroidism and get treated appropriately.
