I think it's safe to say that no one size fits all here. There are too many variables based on individual chemistry and other individual health issues involved. You just have to experiment and see what is right for you - just like with antidepressants.
I have been on the synthetic T4 as well as Armour (natural T4+T3). I notice a slight difference in energy and metabolism level so I prefer the Armour. I could survive just fine on T4 alone however. There is also the issue of having to get the Armour from an animal which I do at times feel guilty about. Neither the Armour nor the T4 have had any success in potentiating any antidepressant that I have been on. Maybe Cytomel/T3 alone would. It's something I plan to try in the future.
Good luck to all of you in finding what works best for you.
