> I don't see how your pdoc can so categorically dismiss T3 therapy when no single AD works for everyone. I found several ADs to be personally "without value" , but in the wonderful world of mental disorders everyone's mileage differs.

**I don't think he's making a blanket statement about T3 therapy, only that he didn't see that it made a difference in his own practice. He's a big proponent of fish oil and good nutrition and will give a new product the old college try. I think he's more than willing to consider anything that might help. He feels that proper thyroid levels are critical, but he personally didn't find T3 as effective as he had hoped. But just because he didn't see value in it doesn't mean he covered all bases or missed something valuable. He's made some blunders with my med protocol.Hope your downturn resolves soon. It sure is a drag when you start feeling well and then the rug gets pulled out. Take care. - Barbara
