You have to work with your endocrinologist or internist about this. Many people take a combination of Synthroid and Cytomel- I did, too, but changed over to just Cytomel. For me, it's 5 mcg. three times a day (it has a short active life in your body of about 3 hours).

For it to have an antidepressant effect, they like your TSH to be between 1,0 and 0.5, with the free T4 and T3 levels within normal limits. There is a risk of developing some osteoporosis on this, so you need to have DEXA scans, and also take Calcium and Vitamin D.

I feel a lift from the Cytomel, but no increased anxiety- which I seem to generate on my own!
