I'm glad you wrote, bleauberry, because you and I seem to share similar symptoms of depression and respond to similar meds. I am still doing well on the ixel (am taking a 6 week breather from provigil), but worry that come winter, when the depression always seems to rear its ugly head, the ixel may lose effectiveness and i'll need a plan B. So I've purchased some stablon and then some strattera, and so that's plan b, just in case.
Meanwhile, bleauberry, i had some armour thyroid which i bought several months ago, because i have all the symptoms of low thyroid, plus it runs in the family (my mom and her mom). Was afraid to take it as I've always tested "normal" but last week I got to thinking hmmmmm...... all of the meds i do well on are stimulating, why would this be so? So today is day 3 with half a grain of the thyroid and I'm feeling pretty darn good. I seem to remember you also take thyroid - I think synthetic. Are you taking it because you are actually low or were you like me - experiencing the symptoms but not testing low?
Yesterday I found this post from a year ago about stablon, which says stablon increases thyroid levels, which made me go hmmmmm...... even louder.
