Can antidepressants such as nortriptyline (pamelor) cause hyporthyroidism?
I’m not sure, really!
Folks, where do you get your antidepressants from? Do you order online?
I’m impatient and easily irritated, and as a result, I can get depressed in a second. My doc has prescibed very expensive antidepressants, I cannot actually afford. This fact makes me even more depressed(: I wanna get a generic version of the mediation I need via http://antidepressivemedicines.com/
Tricyclic antidepressants like Nortriptyline are not frequent causers of hypothyroidism. Certainly, they can amplify the side-effects of a thyroid supplement medication, as well as any depressants (alcohol, tranquilizers, etc.). The drug serves to exacerbate hypothyroidism’s physiological effects, not cause it. That would require a more hormonal basis of action for the Tricyclic. The most frequent causes of thyroid dysruption stem from the pituitary, hypothalamus, and autoimmune disorders in the thyroid gland itself.
