Your concerns are valid, and I appreciate you reaching out for clarification. Let me address your situation step by step:  Understanding Your TSH Level (42)**  - A TSH of **42** is significantly elevated, indicating **primary hypothyroidism**. While medications like quetiapine can sometimes affect thyroid function, such a high TSH typically suggests true thyroid dysfunction rather than just drug-induced changes.  Key Points to Consider:**  1. **Quetiapine and Thyroid Function:**     - While quetiapine is not commonly known to cause hypothyroidism, some antipsychotics can mildly affect hormone levels. However, a TSH of 42 is unlikely to be caused by medication alone.  2. **Need for Levothyroxine:**     - With your TSH level, **levothyroxine (100 mcg) is appropriate** to restore normal thyroid function. Untreated hypothyroidism can worsen fatigue, mood, and metabolism.  3. Next Steps:**     - Continue levothyroxine as prescribed.     - Recheck TSH in **4-6 weeks** (instead of 2 months) to assess response.     - Monitor symptoms: energy levels, weight changes, mood, and cold intolerance.  When to Seek Further Evaluation:**  - If you experience **palpitations, excessive sweating, or anxiety** (signs of over-treatment).  - If fatigue or depression persists despite normalizing TSH.  Your Concerns Matter**  If you still have doubts, a **second opinion from an endocrinologist** would be helpful to rule out other causes (e.g., autoimmune thyroiditis).  For a detailed discussion, you can reach me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**.

TSH level of 42 is high , indicates that you have hypothyroidism.Its better to repeat the TSH and free T4 levels in a accredited Lab in your area to compare with the present results.If the TSH level remains high ,do follow your doctor's treatment.Interactions with medicines will not cause such a high level.

Hello, Quetiapine has been associated with mild increases in TSH levels, but a TSH of 42 is significantly elevated and suggests primary hypothyroidism rather than just a medication-related fluctuation. Since you have no prior thyroid history, it’s reasonable to consider whether Quetiapine contributed. However, true hypothyroidism needs to be ruled out. Here’s what you can do: Confirm Diagnosis: A full thyroid panel (Free T3, Free T4, anti-TPO, and anti-TG antibodies) can help differentiate between transient and primary hypothyroidism. Continue Thyroxine: Since your TSH is significantly high, continuing levothyroxine 100 mcg as prescribed is advisable while monitoring response. Re-evaluate in 2 Months: If TSH normalizes, it suggests primary hypothyroidism. If it remains high, further assessment may be needed. Discuss with Your Doctor: If Quetiapine is suspected as the cause, your prescribing doctor may consider dose adjustment or an alternative medication.
