> I have taken Cytomel for nearly 2 decades as an augmentor to all classes of ADs. It is apparently a crucial part of my cocktail because reduction in dosage always worsens my depression. It was the key to making ADs work at all for me. I have never had the luxury of trying it as monotherapy.
So you're saying that without the Cytomel, antidepressants didn't work at all for you? But with it, they do work? That's very interesting and inspiring to me, because like I said, not a single antidepressant has done anything positive for me. And I've tried almost all of them, except tricyclics-- well, I tried desipramine briefly but my body couldn't handle it.

Luckily my psychiatrist knows about it... he was the one who suggested it. But I'm not taking any antidepressant now, so I feel like I need to get on one before adding an augmentor.... unless it could augment other classes of drugs, like antipsychotics, which often have antidepressant properties.
