Prozac - 12 Years - Help!

by Jennifer
(North Dakota)

I was on prozac for 12 yrs and found out it was madee with fluoride and quit.

I have been medication free for 6 months now but gained 35 pounds and have all the classic hypothyroid symptoms with immense dry brittle hair, hair loss, sensitive to hot and cold, and extreme fatigue. I have not gone to a Dr yet because My dr only prescribes synthroid.

I have a reverse osmosis water filter and use fluoride free toothpaste for about 3 months now and am on a nonsugar, nonflour diet with 1 hr cardio exercise a day plus long walks and have not lost a single pound.

I even contemplated going back on prozac to lose the weight. I ordered nutrimeds porcine thyroid and gradually upped my dose to 4 a day. I have crazy hot flashes so i dont know if that means its working?

I am looking for suggestions on how much iodine to start out with for detoxing and helping my thyroid

I am desperate!!! Hope to get some answers;)

RESPONSE

Thanks for writing.

Please refer to Iodine Pills which sets out the amount of iodine to be taken either in the liquid Lugols form or the pill form called Iodoral> or perhap Iodine Supplements where I have made comments on all the various types of supplementation and detoxification products I have used.

I suggest you also review Mercury Detox which lists various natural products you can use for detoxification.

Keep me informed how you do. OK?
