> You mentioned various doses of T3-T4 replacement, but didn't say what your serum TSH, T3 and T4 levels actually are. There have been a number of posts, and a few journal citations, indicating that, while the T3 and T4 levels need to remain within normal limits, the TSH should be at the low end of the range for an anti-depressant benefit. Most say at 0.5 or even a bit lower. Since you need to take it anyway, it might be worthwhile to make sure your TSH is at the optimum level. You may then find that you can do well on a lower dose of anti-depressant medication.

There is a wealth of valuable information there which many of us have found extremely helpful. I'm one of the people who no longer needs an AD (at least for now); TMS helped me a great deal, but I believe taking enough T3-4 to keep my TSH below 0.5, and taking pretty nearly all of the supplements suggested by Larry have helped me stay in remission.

Thank you very much Pfinstegg. No, not a new poster, just one who isn't used to being depressed at this level. As I mentioned my father has for years known and made use of many supplements/vitamins, etc. Coordinating (he is out of state) his input with the pdoc (who is very, very busy but does :-) answer email) is difficult. I need to get the thyroid levels done -- I'm a bit overwhelmed and discouraged. Like many, I've gotten up and bushed myself off and carried on ... the last 18 months there has been no let up. The U of TX (Austin) has a 'dept' specifically for female sexual dysfnc. and there is also U of CA (SF) ... Thanks again.
