>T3 produces an increase in the sensitivity of postsynaptic NE receptors. Remeron produces an increase in the release of NE. Maybe they are to be synergistic.
I'm thinking in the same way, despite the lack of studies it might be helpful. It shouldn't necessarily need to be an NRI.
>Personally, T3 wrecked me. It exacerbated my depression severely. I found T4 much more helpful. Perhaps this is a bipolar thing.
Sorry to hear that. I'm pretty certain I'm strictly unipolar, haven't seen any signs that would suggest otherwise. This T3/T4 thing is pretty tricky. If your thyroid is functioning well and turning T4 into T3, would it really matter which one you took?
The thing is, I can get T4 here with a regular prescription but with T3 my pdoc needs to apply for a license to prescribe it, I don't know how much trouble that is.
Which dose of T4 do you found to be most helpful?/Mattias
