Chloe- not being bipolar myself, I don't know enough about your medications to comment on that aspect, although lots of other people here do know a huge amount about it and can probably give helpful suggestions. As to the Cytomel, I think your TSH is going to tell you whether the amount you are taking is right for you.(if it goes below 0.5, that would be too low) But you do have to think about clinical effects, too: weight loss and a racing pulse are two signs of possibly having too much of either TSH, T4 or T3 in your system. I would hate to see you discontinue the Cytomel because it seems to be helping with the "crashes", but it might be that 2.5 mcg. would be enough for you
I know that you still have struggles and challenges, but it's just wonderful how much better you sound compared to a few months ago!
