Specializes in Clinical Psychology

I'd be very shocked: Ask the doctor who prescribed it to take some time to explain & discuss the side effects possible. One possible side effect is swelling in the throat and i suppose you might be interpreting such an effect as thyroid. It is probably not, but ask and if necessary, they can run lab tests. Good luck.
