Q,
As usual, I agree with Tabitha. I've taken 25mcg of Cytomel daily (morning only) as an adjunctive for about 10 years now, and it definitely strengthens and improves the impact of my anti-depressant. I've tried phasing it out and felt lousy. I've tried doubling it but felt anxious and tight through the chest. Personally, I'd never take it at night, since it is mildly stimulating.
Use of Cytomel (in this context) is generally not for thyroid deficiency, but rather to potentiate the effect of other medications. Its use as an adjunctive in the treatment of depressive disorders is well documented and accepted. Not to worry.
I hope it works out as well for you as it has for me. Listen to your body. You'll arrive at the right dosage for you.
Best wishes,
Mark H.
