There is a special standard for TSH when you suffer from depression, according to a 1999 article in the New England Journal of Medicine. It should be under 1.0. Most people are given synthroid alone (T4). However, you should take part of your medication in the form of Cytomel (T3), as that is the form which is used by the body; (some people don't convert T4 to T3 on their own). I believe this applies to both men and women. A number of posters here have noted better control of depression after adding Cytomel- me among them.
