Cytomel (T3) made me much worse. Thyroxine (T4) was mildly helpful. I am still keeping thyroxine in mind for myself in the future.

> considering ect. but will talk to doc about your recommendationsI would just point out the 400mg is a relatively high dosage of Lamictal for bipolar disorder, and that many people incur cognitive and memory impairments at that dosage. Most people find 200mg to be best.
