Supratherapeutic (hyperthyroid) dosages of T4 (thyroxine) have been used to treat rapid-cycling bipolar disorder for quite a few years. It is not very common, though. Generally, the treatment depends upon the simultaneous use of an antidepressant or a mood stabilizer. If it works, you will want to research what effects the treatment will have on your body long term and how to compensate for them. Osteoporosis is usually a concern.
