I was given Cytomel as a "booster" to Prozac in 1995, but I don't know if many GP Doc's knew about the strong connection between thyroid and depression back in the early 90's (?)
I had a pretty fast metabolism growing up and everything hit the brakes around age 27-28 (in 1993-94). This was also the same year that I was misdiagnosed and put on Lithium...what a nightmare.
So, naturally occuring? Result of the Lithium? Result of some other med? I don't know.
But I'm still on Cytomel and it has to be monitored. I've had to change the dose once in awhile.
Did notice that taking a folic acid prenatal vitamin (I'm not pregnant, but we'd like to try if I can switch to a different AD) also put the brakes on my metabolism. It was WAY strange.
