I think looking into Cytomel is a great idea. I take tiny amounts of it three times a day. It has such a short half-life that you do tend to feel a lift and then a let-down, but this is hardly noticeable when you take it three times a day. My endo was aiming to bring my TSH level down to around 0.5, which he said is optimal for depression- and an important adjunct in treating it. I'm presently 0.38. You do need to take all the preventive measures for osteoporosis when you do this - even if you are young- i.e. Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, occasional bone scans- and Fosamax or Actonel if you begin to develop even a tiny amount. I think it's really helpful. I also find Wellbutrin helpful- 37,5 mg. three times a day of the regular formulation- it's got a short half life unless you take the sr (that gave me hypertension, which is why I'm doing it this way). I think it helps a lot, too. One thing- you have saqid that it's very hard for you to wait 6-8 weeks to see if an AD works. Cytomel and Wellbutrin work within a half hour of taking them, so you'll know right away!

All the best to you..
