Question:
Good
morning!
I have
been told I can take L-tyrosine (500 mg twice a day) to lose weight.
I have
hypothyroidism and I am under medication but I am unable to lose weight.
My blood
works are OK but based on my basal body temperature I am not burning
enough calories.
I am
55 years old; my height is 5'6" and my weight 192 pounds.
I have
never been so obese. It makes me to feel bad and I am afraid.
My doctor
has prescribed me Mirtazapine 30 mg for depression and
Clonazepan 4 drops at night.
Can I
take these medications with L-Tyrosine?
Thanks
for the answer
Answer:
Weight
gain is a side effect of Mirtazapine.
Depressed
mood and weight changes are, among others, important side effects
of Clonazepam.
L Tyrosine
may help some people in their fight against depression.
Some
experts recommend taking L Tyrosine to people with hypothyroidism
and some L-Tyrosine manufacturers put a warning in the label for hypothyroidism.
