A member asked:

Just statrted thyroxine levels were 7.71 made me feel like a zombie also taking citalopram would thid affect it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No it: Would not. The thyroid replacement will take up to six weeks before it reaches a stable level. Make sure you're on brand name replacement as the generics are unreliable. I'm assuming the lab test you mentioned is a tsh, which should return to normal w/replacement.
