Thyroid hormones made it possible for me to finally start responding to the antidepressants. Permanent? I'm not sure what you mean. For me, thyroid meds are maintenance. I anticipate that I'll always be on them.What I meant was whether you experienced poop-out.
I saw my internist today. I thought my thyroid problem would be an easy fix, but it won't be. I seem to have either euthyroid sick syndrome or Wilson's syndrome, which seems kind of flaky to me. I might take cytomel (T3). More details in my "Dear Diary" thread on social.
