> Scott, do you suffer from an agitated, anxious depression? That would explain why T3 would exacerbate it, given that it's often highly activating. It's most useful for a lethargic-style depression, though I would think the same to a lesser extent would apply to T4.

Hi Jemma.My depression is severely anergic with psychomotor retardation and anhedonia. However, at the time of my experience with T3 (20 years ago), I did suffer from anxiety as well. I definitely prefer the way T4 treated me. Perhaps T3 would work now, I don't know. Still, I think T4 is often overlooked, particularly in bipolar disorder.
Thanks for your interest.
