> My theory on the weight gain is increased prolactin. That will decrease the amount of Human Growth Hormone and that will decrease thyroid output. My wife is on zoloft and also went on Jenny Craig but found once she added 20 mcg t3 her diet kicked into gear. I wonder why more docs don't check thyroid output when a patient complains of weight gain on an AD.Was your wife actually deficient in T3? I gained weight, but had my thyroid checked and it is within nomal range, low, but within normal. I had read that even if the thyroid readings come back within the normal range, a small supplement can provide energy and is not toxic. My doc will not hear of unecessarily dosing, but I understand that there are thyroid supplements that you can buy over the counter.
