I don't recommend it. For ritalin, I would suggest tapering off slowly. Despite it being a short acting drug, sudden discontinuation could cause a rebound depression. I don't know about withdrawal of T3. It is short-acting, too, but I know when I went of thyroid meds for a week a couple of years ago, I felt awful. Then again, it had been working for me.

When you are on T3, do your thyroid test numbers change? Have you considered trying T4? Have you considered a consult with an endocrinologist?

Have you considered a different stimulant?

You may have already addressed this, sorry if I spaced out on it--any possiblity of a sleep disorder?

Finally, a word of commiseration--double depression stinks. It really really stinks.
