    Interesting study.  They found a "significant reduction of T(3) after 15 and 30 days" with SSRI use, yet their conclusion is SSRI is safe in hypothyroid.   The take is that part of the weight gain associated with SSRI use is through dysfunction of thyroid hormone production as the effects were also found with T4.
