I was depressed over issues with my husband so I was put on Cytomel with Paxil....I hated it so they tried me on Prozac, then Effexor. I was having dreams of killing people and I didnt know what was real.....I had to ask people if they were really in the room with me! I hated the depression drugs so bad that I went off them....only staying on the Cytomel.... Quickly my head cleared and I was fine! I wasnt crying or showing any signs of depression so my doctor kept me on Cytomel alone for the past 6 years. Now he has retired and no doctor will give me a script for Cytomel. I have talked to mental health doctors and they only want to put me on depression meds. I talked to my family doctor and he said that treatment for depression is not a suggested use for Cytomel so he wont give me any. I have stopped Cytomel before and the crying starts up, plus I let negitive thoughts consume me. Like if I cut someone off in traffic that day accidently, it will replay in my head again and again until I cuss myself over it...It almost becomes like a tick that I have to scream to get out of my head..stupid little things will upset me. I know I will start showing those signs again when my pills finally run out but is it DANGEROUS to my body and organs to stop a thyroid pill cold turkey after being on it 6 years? Im really scared! I have had a thyroid test and my levels are in the normal range, but thats with me being on the Cytomel for 6 years....Im afraid it will crash when I go off. So is it dangerous to just quit the pills?
