I had a really good response to adding 25 mcg cytomel-- better sleep, digestion, energy, clearer thinking, better mood, and it fixed the general bloat/fluid retention I've had for several years. I think I was probably deficient in the hormone, though my last bloodwork was normal.
Regarding the weight loss issue-- I've found it has increased my metabolism and my appetite proportionally. If anything I've gained a couple pounds. I generally gain a bit when I'm less depressed though, because I eat better when I feel good.
I think you're wise to go slowly with the dose. If I got anxiety and nervousness from it I'd probably stop there and wait to see if it resolved. I tried doubling my dose one day (from 25 mcg to 50 mcg) and I definitely didn't feel good on that high a dose.
