Wow! I think you mean micrograms, not milligrams. 50 micrograms seems like a huge dose to me. I take 5 mcg., along with 0,5 mg. (50 mcg.) of synthroid. This gives me a TSH of 0.4 to 0.5, whereas if I stop treatment, the TSH reverts to about 5. Are you having your TSH tested on a regular basis? If you aren't, I think you should. A therapeutic level for TSH in the treatment of depression would be about 0.5, or a bit less, to 1 or 2, but you don't want to go lower than that. Glad it's helping, though! I haven't heard of anyone else using just Cytomel so successfully.
