In reply to Synthroid + SSRI?, posted by Gothmog on December 27, 2003, at 10:56:55
It is hard to sort out since you started both around the same time. If the SE's of Wellbutrin are such that you will go off of it, why don't you have an AD hiatus for a month or so to see if the improvement from the synthroid is real and lasts. You might, as you said, also need an AD, but it would be good to see how much the thyroid med does on its own. If you feel depressed, then start another AD.
I haven't found SSRIs to diminish thyroid med power at all. Lithium did make me more hypothyroid but not the ADs I've been on.
Good luck.
