Still on just Cytomel.. up to 75 mcg daily now (split into 2 doses). Tried adding in 1 grain of Armour, but within a few days felt depressed and just not quite right.. so I stopped taking it.
On the good side, I do feel slightly more energetic, my skin seems clearer and I am having less hypo symptoms. The depressed feelings come and go as does the 'brain fog'. On the bad side, the weight is still a problem and my skin disease, Granuloma Annulare is getting worse. I have some new spots and old areas are becoming 'bumpy' again. The spots had seemed to be fading while on Synthroid, so this is quite distressing to me. If anyone knows whyT4 seems to help, but T3 would make worse - please leave a comment.
I also started taking about 400 mcg of Melatonin (at Walmart in the vitamin section) at night to help me sleep. Takes about an hour to kick in. The dreaming is amazing on this stuff.
Update: I bought some synthetic melatonin in a higher dose (since the Rexall brand of natural was not in stock at my Walmart) and I do not recommend it. The natural melatonin is the best. I'm pitching the synthetic stuff, even though it is a much stronger dose it takes me longer to fall asleep and I find myself waking several times during the night. Check the label before you buy!!
