Does Rifampin cause you to have to adjust thyroid meds?

Thanks — how far did your TSH go up—a lot or just a small amount?
Did it keep going up over and over again the whole time or just one time?
I am super sensitive to thyroid changes. My ID doc said he hasn’t had anyone have to raise their dosage on Rifampin. But he may not have been privy to it if they dealt with their pcp.

I started rifampin in Dec. 2021. February TSH =17. PCP adjusted synthroid. March TSH=10. April TSH=12.7. PCP adjusted synthroid. Then in May my platelets decreased and I was taken off rifampin. My platelet count returned to normal within 3 weeks. Hope this helps.
