That's so interesting! You can actually tell the difference when your TSH is 1.0 or lower? It might be really worthwhile to get it down to 0.5 or thereabouts and see how you feel at that level. I'm assuming that it would help more with depression than anxiety, and I'm not sure from what you've said how much depression is an issue for you. But if you are interested in cutting down on your meds, why not try it? From the NEJM article, I recall the rationale behind adding Cytomel is that it is the form our brains use, and some people are not good at converting T4 (synthroid) to T3. If you decide to try it, please let us know how it works- maybe under the INFORMAL PB THYROID STUDY thread?
