I tried to look up the details but couldn't pin point anything. I do however agree with AR I have been told repeately this is not good to mix.

SSRIs are not recommended for anyone with thyroid problems. It affects your hormone levels.

I don't know if there is more toit than that. I have had two Endos and my family doctor all tell me I could not take SSRIs.
