I'm on Lexapro and I can say that it absolutely did diminish the effects of my Synthroid to the point where te Synthroid was not working at all. However, this effect was caused by the fact that I was taking both at the same time in the morning.

Now, I take the ADs in the morning and the Synthroid at night before bed (making sure I eat nothing for 2 hrs prior).


Good luck,
Mrs R (on thyroid hormone for 44 yrs.)
