Gee, Cam I hope that wasn't a sarcastic remark
I didn't mean to reply at your forum, or try to fill in, you are the expert in this field for sure
I just couldn't help but briefly give out some encouraging info on Synthroid from my own positive experience
Damn, I wish they would "up" my dose a tad, I read that it can be helpful in depression, alone or in adjunct with the "other" meds. . . but the pdoc said "no", the prescribing GP said "no" But then I read how so many pdocs didn't go according to the "within the normal limits" stuff but according to the better mood and general overall well being their patients had at various doses and dose changes.
I guess in my own personal case they fear it may induce mania in the "bipolar-II" patient. A little bit of mild mania aint' such a bad idea about now, ha!ha!
Sorry for adding my 2 cents
