Hi Kara
> I didn't know that about T3 not being good for bipolar disorder.
I don't know whether it is or not, but it certainly is not good for whatever it is I suffer from. My case is very atypical.
> Maybe there is no one size fits all answer here just like there is no one antidepressant that is best for everyone.
Yeah. These things with the brain are a real pain in the butt.
> I'm curious as to whether you've tried something like Armour that has both T3 and T4 etc.
No. But according to the website I found and posted above, that is an excellent idea.
> There are some doctors who believe that the T3 in Armour is too high (it's about 25%) and that you should take an amount that is closer to what humans naturally produce (more in the 5-10% range). I wonder what effect that would have on you.
Me too. Thanks for caring. :-)
Be well.
