> Cytomel can help and not everyone will have the same reaction as you had. Usually the dosage is much smaller. He never should have put you on such a high dosage as it could have messed up your thyroid in a bad way.
Good point, I agree that many people are helped by thyroid augmentation, and I don't want to discourage anyone from trying it. I just want to stress that it should be done carefully and cautiously and that you should definitely ask questions if anything seems weird!Most importantly, if your psychiatric symptoms get worse, lower the thyroid hormone dosage before screwing around with the dosage on all of your other meds! I don't know why I agreed to do that, but I guess since my doctor didn't tell me that the episode had anything to do with the Cytomel, I didn't even consider it as a possibility. I honestly just thought I was totally and completely loosing my mind.
