Abnormal Thyroid Function Laboratory Results Caused by Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) Antidepressant Treatment

We report on a depressed woman who developed abnormal thyroid biochemical laboratory reports during fluoxetine therapy. After changing to the serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine, the thyroid laboratory reports were normalized. In light of this, we wish to alert treating clinicians to this potential significant adverse effect.PMID:37215167 | PMC:PMC10195165 | DOI:10.1155/2023/7170564
