My doctor wants me to take Prozac for Depression/OCD but I am also taking Levothyroxine for an under-active thyroid. Does anyone know from personal experience if this is a good idea or not? My doctor seems a bit vague on the whole subject.

MRose asked:


Lipitor
Klonopin
Ativan
Zoloft
Geodon
Lamictal
Trazadone
Phentermine (its supposed to be a metabolism booster)
Fexofenadine
Dicyclomine

I’ve put on 20 pounds in a year, and when I told my doctor my concerns, he actually laughed at me (yes, I’m looking for a new doctor) and said that they all cause weight gain (he put me on the last three and lipitor) but all the research i’ve done doesnt say they cause weight gain (he used zoloft as an example, and on the zoloft website it says it can actually cause weight loss)

so what gives? are the pills really to blame? i know its a nice little cocktail, but I havent found any reason for me to be gaining weight like this. i diet and excercise regularly, why do i keep gaining? (he checked my thyroid and he told me its not an issue, im beginning to doubt him…)

(i recently switched from ativan to klonopin and from lamictal to geodon, so im not on all of the above)

to tell ya the truth……….. asked:


I have been diagnosed with fibermyalgia but I am tired all the time
\I also have a bad thyroid,am thirsty and feel just generally lazy
Physical therapy just makes it worse and I am not diabetic so I can eat what I want….what can I do to get more physical? or what can I eat to make me stronger. I am sick of being sick .
water excersises are no help either.

suek1@sbcglobal.net asked:


I recently started taking Celebrex for arthritis and I’m also on antidepressants, thyroid and anxiety medications. I have started being teary eyed and down in the dumps. Just wondered if anyone knows if this could be a side effect of Celebrex.

I have Fibromyalgia and I read that if your diagnosed with this you can have Thyroid problems also. If anyone knows out there please inform me. Many thanks.
