Hi Q,

I'm no expert, but I think Cytomel's augmenting effect will likely increase your appetite, depending on what else you're taking with it. I've gained about 40 pounds in the last six years (I was also very thin for most of my adult life). So the increase in metabolism has not offset the increase in appetite for me.

Cytomel (like everything we take for depression) is serious medicine. See this link for more information about it:

http://www.drugs.com/PDR/Cytomel_Tablets.html

I don't know whether Cytomel alters thyroid production in the long term, but I suspect it might. I don't think cessation causes withdrawal symptoms per se, but if you feel better while taking it, you might feel less well when you don't.

Speaking strictly for myself, I've come to terms with the fact that I'll likely be on all my meds for the rest of my life, so I'm not concerned with discontinuation.

I hope others will chime in with their experiences as well.

Best wishes,

Mark H.
