> Hi Phillipa, I don't have any answers, but when I first went on AD's I got a dramatic improvement. This happened with several different ones until a doc finally recommended I stay on them for life. I am lucky in that they really do pull me out of the pit reliably, and clear up all my dark distorted thinking, and give me a chance to create a new, less dark & distorted world view.

The last big boost I got was from adding thyroid hormone. That helped more dramatically than any AD switch or adjustment.

Sorry to butt in but you mentioned adding thyroid hormone. Do you have a deficiency that appears in blood tests. It was suggested for me (especially since I am always been tired) and my doctor said that even if it was in the normal range but towards the lower interval, he would augment. But mine was well within the limits.
What was your situation?
Thanks so much
