Re: Armour increased my depression - WHY?

In reply to Synthroid Causes Depression/Anxiety????, posted by Phillipa on August 29, 2011, at 11:23:27

I have been on Synthroid for a couple years as an add-on to other meds. My thyroid is in range, but at the low end. I don't really know if it was helping.
I went to a naturopath who gave me Armour - which has T3 as well as T4. She has had great success with treating bipolar. It wasn't helping, so I increased the dose. I wasn't feeling any of the rapid heart beat, anxiety, hyperactivity, etc. I was just feeling more depressed.
She had never heard of anyone having that reaction. I also could not find anything on the web.
I DON'T GET IT! I have the rapid-cycling bipolar II type of depression that is one of the most treatment resistent. It is also one of the types that is very successfully treated with thyroid meds. It makes me feel like the odds are even more against me.
