> I have been taking cytomel for bipolar depression. At first at 25mg I thought it was stabilising my mood, but I was feeling very warm. Since reaching 75 my anxiety, tinnitus and rapid cycling has really worsened and my depression too.

> Wondered if this has happened to anyone else? Would a switch to t4 work as I have seen this suggested, maybe start with a low dose and if I start getting warm etc. move back down?
>
> Thanks in advanceNot really sure. Cytomel drove my anxiety nuts! (I am BP2). I faintly remember T4 doing similar as well. But, that was about 30 years ago when I was on it. I am thinking of asking my pdoc about trying very low-dose T4. I am very sensitive to the cold.

Someone said, they never fear a thing
Well, I do
And I'm afraid enough for both of us,
For me and you
Time, if nothing else, will do it's worst
So do me a favour, and tell me the good news first
