Hi Yellowbird,
I'm not familiar with Cytomel, but wanted to let you know today my PDocNP said Ritalin messes up your thyroid. I brought her my thyroid test results which were low, so the subject came up.
Were you taking that for thyroid issues or for the reason D/R stated?
I heard Adderall reduces appetite in almost everyone. My son took it and was scared of withering away. I take Ritalin, which is perhaps not as strong as Adderall--it doesn't affect my appetite much. But then again, I'm not that hungry during the day. Two hours or so after the Ritalin wears off at about 6 pm, I crave carbs and sweets and tend to overeat. Recently I've been like that before I started on Ritalin though. It's had no affect on appetite for me. Many say Ritalin decreases appetitite--so maybe stimulants affect our appetites differently?
Geez this probably doesn't seem that helpful to you. I think that's one of those kinds of drugs where you can try it out for a week or so and then just quit whenever you want. See how your appetite feels after a week or 2.
