Hi,
You could be lactose intolerant. Make sure none of the medications you use has lactose in it. Also, Fluoxetine needs to be taken regularly for it to work. Indigestion problems with Fluoxetine are common. Discuss with your treating doctor the dosage of Fluoxetine and if it is needed at all. Thyroxine is probably not the issue.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
