> Hi,

I'm taking Cytomel to augment Marplan, and it works well. This combination got me out of my deep, suicidal depression. I never took T4 so I can't offer a comparison. The only side effect I've noticed is that I can't drink coffee within a couple of hours of taking Cytomel or I get shaky and light-headed.

I.

PS: I moved! Can't say I moved *in*. Will post more later.
