I don't know who that was recommending fluoxetine (Prozac) for a thyroid 
condition...Lithium is used as a mood stabilising agent in the treatment 
of mood disorders such as bipolar disorder (also known as manic 
depression) and schizoaffective disorder. Litium itself has been known 
to cause derangement of thyroid function, but does not itself constitute 
an effective means of treatment for any thyroid conditions. I would 
strongly suggest that you seek a second opinion as regards your thyroid 
problem. Secondly, 1800mg of carbamazepine (Tegretol) is a hell of a 
lot, even for severe complex partial seizures... you must be totally 
bombed out if you take that much. If it takes that much to control your 
seizures, you may be better off trying an alternative anticonvulsant 
such as valproate (Epilim), phenytoin (Dilantin) or vigabatrin (Sabril). 
Check your thyroiid out by all means, but I think you should check your 
doctor out first!
