Hi all, a few years back I was on the anti-depressant citalopram, after being on the drug for around 18 months I noticed that my eyebrows had started to shed, as time went by they gradually got worse, my skin became very dry, I started to feel groggy and tired most days, then I noticed my beard had started to become very sparse and thin.
I've read several times that antidepressants contain high amounts of fluoride, which displaces iodine, slowing down the thyroid causing an Iodine deficiency.
Does it sound like the citalopram is the cause of this? and could I now be Iodine deficient due to the fluoride in the antidepressants? Would taking an Iodine Lugols supplement help me?
I've heard great things about iodine but I'm not entirely sure how to take it.Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

My thoughts.....
The cause is irrelevant. Even if your AD's led to Iodine deficiency its likely not the sole cause and it likely just sped it along. I would wager there is not one human in the first world who gets optimal levels of all nutrients.
Iodine does not work alone, your symptoms could be caused by a myriad of things and instead of spending time looking for a smoking gun focus simply on providing your body ALL of what it needs.
Far too many people look at just this or that specific nutrient that they often cause more harm than good because they ignore others that are just as critical and in short supply as well.

The plan wasn't to just take iodine, I have started to supplement with plenty of other important nutrients, but surely taking Lugols and using celtic Sea Salt etc would help detox the fluoride and other toxins? This would surely be beneficial?
Would it be a bad idea if I started slowly with the iodine,along with the other important nutrients? Or should I not be using Lugols at all?
