I don't know if this is appropriate, but I'm being given Cytomel (a synthetic thyroid hormone) to augment Parnate. Now, I don't have hypothyroidism, all the tests show normal for thyroid. It supposedly makes the Parnate more effective, and compared to Deplin (which did nothing), I am feeling some positive benefit since I started Cytomel.
The big drawback, however, is insomnia. Both Parnate and Cytomel have major insomnia SEs. Maybe a low dose of Cytomel will have a positive effect on your sleep pattern.
But this is just a guess. There are others here who understand the actual chemical reactions involved and they might disagree with me.
