Hi Denise...just to put in my two cents worth, I think you would be better to skip the T3 and T4 tests, which are bound to be normal, and instead ask your doc to begin giving you very low doses of synthroid and cytomel. It's the TSH getting to around 0.5 which is one of the helpful adjuncts for depression. He can increase those two drugs very slowly and test your TSH every 6 weeks or so until he gets to the target reading of 0.5.
