i just got back from my primary care physician and he prescribed cytomel in addition to my levoxyl. i have been feeling fatigued, brain-fogged, and depressed, with severe mood swings, for months upon months, and i've switched SSRIs several times, thinking it was my depression. (at the moment i'm taking zoloft 100mg and neurontin 1800mg.) my PCP also increased my levoxyl several months ago in an effort to bring my TSH below 1. i didn't feel any better. finally i decided to go back to see him and i was prepared to ask for a referral to an endo, thinking he wouldn't "hear" me about my possible need for T3. well, bless his heart, he brought it up before i did.
noa, don't you take cytomel in addition to levoxyl or synthroid? didn't you say that's when your recovery from depression really began? i'm excited but am trying not to be TOO hopeful. also, what do you think of Armour?
