Hi all,

This may be old news aboout synthroid and cytomel, but here's my experience. When I developed hypothyroidism I doubled min size, yet my then MD said it was all in my mind! Anyways, I changed MDs and started synthroid, titrating up to .300 over the next year. I still felt exhausted and then I saw an article in the New England J of Med Jan 99. It suggested that women with hypothyroidism and depression did better by adding cytomel to the synthroid. Over then next 6 mo I switched to 0.2 synthroid + 0.25 cytomel X2 (AM & PM = 0.5) and that has been magic for me. My thyroid levels are now in the normal range, I'm no longer exhausted and I have finally been able to lose weight!
