In reply to Thyroid hormone augmentation of SSRI - differences, posted by SLS on September 13, 2005, at 7:26:59
> Perhaps the selection of which thyroid hormone to choose for augmentation of antidepressants should be determined by the subtype of depression being treated; T4 for melancholic unipolar and bipolar depression and T3 for atypical unipolar depression. One thing I would recommend based upon my own experience with thyroid hormones is that one cannot rule-out the usefulness of one type based upon the response to the other.
I'm really interested to hear what folks have to say about this. The tests always say my thyroid is fine but I have many symptoms that seem to match up with being hypothyroid. I had a doctor turn me down when I asked to be pushed a little higher. My last doc seemed obsessed with the whole thing but couldn't remember to get the reports from the lab.
