Re: Synthroid and increases in Dopamine

[Guest guest]

If you take a break from Synthroid I would at least give L-Tyrosine a

try for a couple of months, start with 500 mg three times per day, up to

1000 mg, three times per day on an empty stomach. L-Tyrosine increase

norepinephrine, dopamine and thyroid hormones. Your body uses L-Tyrosine

to naturally make the thyroid hormones. Synthroid is synthetic thyroid

hormone.

I recall you said you had anxiety before PSSD but your anxiety and

libido reduced considerably when you developed PSSD. Anxiety = high

norepinephrine = high tyrosine.

Tyrosine gives a person energy by increasing norepinephrine and thyroid

hormones.

Haven't heard that thyroid replacement adversely affects dopamine. Please expand upon your comment. To: SSRIsex Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2012 10:35 PM Subject: Synthroid and increases in Dopamine

Apparently Synthroid can increase dopamine in excess, and eventually deplete it. I have been on Synthroid for close to 4 years and I wonder if I have to quit it for some time, so that everything can balance out.
