Well I don't know, but I'm wondering about it's use even alone-- as in, NOT augmenting an antidepressant. The reason for this is that I have yet to find a single "antidepressant" that has worked for me, and I've tried most of them.Right now I take lithium, which seems to help a tiny bit by itself (i.e. not as an AD augmentor) and Seroquel. I've also been on Abilify for a couple weeks-- trying to see if I could switch it for Seroquel-- but I think I'm probably going to end up going off it. It doesn't seem to be helping and I have some annoying side effects.
I don't understand why Cytomel couldn't be helpful just by itself.
Maybe someone who takes it will come forward and help us :)
