> Geezer- what about considering low dose T3-4 as an augmentation? I take both synthroid and cytomel, and think it helps mainly with putting a floor under the worst "crashes". (I have the same diagnosis as you) If you remember, Chloe found it helped to stabilize her moods when she was going on to maintenance ECT. It's safe and doesn't have side effects when given properly.

> PfinsteggThanks Pfinstegg - I will suggest that at the time of my next pdoc visit. Can you recommend dosage and how best to administer the T3-4? I am pretty much on my own in this mess.....the shrinks don't have a clue. Thank you for your help.
