I too am on Cytomel (T3) and am getting benefit from L-tyrosine and DLPA (Yes, larry, I found the non-acetyl version of tyrosine more effective, thanks).
I found an article that it is pertinent to the subject: It discusses the interplay of thyroid with the catacholemines (dopamine and norepinepherine). Although not stated in the article, it makes sense that supplements that support catecholemines might be supportive of best thyroid function. The site is The American College of NeuroPsychoPharmacology, at http://www.acnp.org/g4/GN401000097/CH095.html
You mentioned phentermine, it is the best antidepressant response I have EVER HAD! (but couldn't stay on it, due to insomnia and high blood pressure). As Larry mentioned, it was some ASPECT of the phentermine that helped. I sure wish I could figure out the aspect, since it would give me a future worth living.
