> There is a lot on the net about using high doses of thyroid meds for rapid cycling. I have been taking a tiny dose of synthroid for over a year (and of course am still rapid cycling).

> Has anyone tried a higher dose? How long for a response time?
>There was some interest in using high-dose thyroxine to treat rapid-cycling affective disorders several years ago. I don't know what came of it.
