I've been taking Cytomel for over 5-6 weeks now. Starting at 25 mcg, with no effect. I noticed some improvement at 37.5 mcg, and now I am at 50 mcg. I divide up the dose to 25 mcg twice a day to lessen the side effects of jitteriness. I have been on Nardil for about ten months. So far I'm still not where I want to be mood-wise. I am also a little concerned about how the Cytomel effects my thyroid functioning.

> I have been taking 50 mcg of Cytomel for a couple weeks (previously at 25 mcg) to augment Emsam. My TSH levels were on the low-ish end of normal before I started taking it and I haven't had a blood test since then. I am not sure that I've noticed much of a difference, it's made me feel less cold all the time but it hasn't really helped with my low energy, except some occasional jittery feelings. It also seems to give me some GI discomfort, but nothing bad enough to discontinue for now. Have you noticed any difference on Cytomel? How long have you been on Nardil?
