A 27-year-old male asked:

Could my hypothyroidism be caused by the start and stop of an iodine supplement or be caused by the zyprexa seroque and invega sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) i have been on?

Hypothyroid: Most likely you would have become hypothyroid anyway. Heavy doses of iodine can sometimes affect your thyroid function, but a simple dietary supplement usually will not.
