I take cytomel, 12.5 mcg per day, as well as synthroid (t4), 25 mcg perday. When I added them, and I really don't remember which was added first, I think it might have been the cytomel, I do remember significant mood improvement within a week. I also had extreme sleepiness at the time, which turned out to be from the sleep apnea, but the thyroid meds definitely helped my mood.
Lithium can cause hypothyroid. Did you check your t3, t4, and tsh levels?
At the moment, I am waiting on blood tests to see if I need an increase in my thyroid meds, because I have been sleepy and very low on energy for the past couple of weeks. Everything tires me out. I am wondering if the lithium, which I just started 2 months ago, might have upset the balance.
Good luck.
