A member asked:
Do antidepressant drugs like zoloft or paxil (paroxetine) affect thyroid function? is it safe to take thyroid booster with antidepressant medicine? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: Antidepressants don't affect thyroid function. Safe to take thyroid medication together with antidepressants as prescribed. Some symptoms of depression and thyroid disorder may overlap. However, the cause may be one or the other. Lengthy medical training provides that expertise. Take care.
