Bill L and Nightlight:
I appreciate your responses.
I think I'm going to wait until I try the hormone (if one of the docs prescribe it) before taking other meds, except klonopin which I started taking a few days ago. It seems to help take the edge off the most distressing part of the depression. ADs take a long time to kick in and I was very frightened by the side effects I got from the ones I tried. They are a last resort for me.
Fortunately my doctor did the Free T3, Free T4, antibodies, and other tests, at my request. If one of the docs prescribes a T4 med and it doesn't work I'll try to get something with T3 in it too. -mist
