I'm treated for hypothyroidism. Unfortunately I still have depression. I also take cymbalta and wellbutrin. I was treated for depression first and I was very hopeful when I began the thyroid medication that I would finally feel well, but it hasn't happened yet after three years of thyroid med adjustments. I have been on depression meds for nine years and the dosages/meds have had to be changed five times.

My psychologist has suggested that I talk to the family dr. about the research you talk about because maybe I am still not on a proper dosage. My grandmother, mother, qne sister all had/have the same problems. None of us were/are able to get off of the psych meds, so maybe I have some other physical issues as well.

Perhaps you can talk with your therapist/pdoc to find out how to approach your physician??? My reg. dr. is very interested to have records sent concerning my mental health so that she can prescribe accordingly.
