Well there is something to be said for a good night's sleep when it comes to depression, so that's a plus. I'm still on Nardil myself but only at 30 mg since I had my BP reaction and since I went on Synthroid on 8/8. I don't see my pdoc for a week so I wanted to be off everything but Nardil and be on a low enough dose so if we decide for me to come off it it will be easier to withdraw from it.
The Synthroid is giving me energy and my depression is under fairly good control I think although I'm feeling quite stressed about finding a job if my depression is better now that I'm on Synthroid. I will get the results of all the bloods I had drawn on 8/8 in a week or two after the nurse practitioner gets back from her vacation. Again, with the synthroid I may not need as much medication as I have been taking if the Synthroid helps with energy and motivation. We'll see good results hopefully soon. I'll increase the Thyroid dose next Wed to double the dose I'm now on which is a very small amount but that is all I need since my thyroid is very slightly hypothyroid, nothing like others who have full fledge hypo or hyperthyroidism. It's just that it is felt that depression medications work better with extra thyroid hormone if the med isn't working well on it's own. Thyroid used to be added to AD's quite routinely to supplement them. I had taken Cytomel years ago with the AD I was then on, can't remember much about the effect if any.
