Flexeril and thyroid
Two months ago i took flexeril (muscle relaxer) for tmj like symptoms. Right after that i noticed hypo symptoms and when i went to the doc intested at tsh 17.
Was i wrong to think that the pill triggered my thyroid? I have hashimotos By the way.
I am asking because i am hanving jaw tension and pain now and want to take the flexeril but i am afraid it might trigger my hyop tyroidism.

I find quite a bit information that says flexeril should not be taken when one has hyperthyroidism due to the possibility of causing heart attack, but I can't find no evidence that it triggers hypothyroidism, so I would say it did not trigger your hypothyroidism.
The best thing to do is talk to your doctor or pharmacist to find out about interaction between the flexeril and hypothyroidism.
