Well, here's my unfortunate update about Cytomel (thyorid med - T3):
Last 2-1/2 to 3 days, I have been really down again. It's as if I never took it. Someone noted this as their experience in my first post about Cytomel - he said you feel "cured" for the first week and then it disappears.
This has been my case.
I still encourage folks to try it, even if your thyroid tests come back "normal", b/c it has been known to help depressives/manic depressives. And it is very safe - Category A.
Needless to say, I am frustrated, sad, depressed - gee, what else? But I will save that for social...

I'm sorry to hear it didn't bring you relief either.
