Armour thyroid for treatment resistant depression.

Posted by sac on January 10, 2006, at 5:55:25

Hello,
I know this subject is controversial but I've been switching from one antidepressant med to another for years with limited success. I had blood work done on my thyroid last year which showed normal levels yet I had all the symptoms:hair falling out, feeling cold, fatigue, depression, itchy skin, etc. Anyway, this doctor felt I could have "sub-clinical" hypothyroidism and wanted to treat me based on my symptoms rather than my blood levels. I did find relief from most of my symptoms especially the fatigue on 30-60mg. Armour thyroid. I stopped seeing this doctor for other reasons last year: mainly rude staff and long (2 hours) waiting time and I stopped the medication. I have consulted another endocrinologist and she said I was absolutely fine and it is dangerour to give thyroid hormone to someone who is not technically hypothyroid??? So now I'm just back to feeling lousy. Any experiences?? Thanks -Stacey
