Hi there. It's great that you asked this question and I saw it today, as I a development on the Thyroid front today. One of my medications is Lithium, an excellent medication for me but it can bugger the Thyroid. And as a person who went from 60kg to 114kg becuause of psych meds, including the mood stablilisers, this is really an issue for me. Low thyroid function has a lot of other health implications, but I don;t understand it all. My osych rattles of medical information a mile a minute and I have no idea what he's talking about.

Anyway, to address the low Thyroid function I was put on a med called Thyroxine last year. I get test regularly to see my thyroid function and there has been very little improvement since I first started being tested. Well, today, my Thyroid function has showed up as normal. I nearly did a jig in the office because I didn;t think it would ever get back to normal. And I have a lot of parallel health issues, many related to medications so it is very exciting when we get progress on one of them. Please ask anything you like and I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks for this!
