~~ If you wanted to try it, perhaps you could order from an on-line, natural supplements supplier. Or is it restricted for import into the UK and can only be prescribed by a physician?Also, I know you are aware of the research done on using thyroid meds to augment ADs. Perhaps that is something that your pdoc might consider, if you can make a strong enough argument for a trial (there seems to be quite a bit of research to substantiate its effectiveness as an augmenting agent). Anyway, I am just including the following website because it seems to have a lot of info on studies done on augmenting with thyroid meds.
