Ilene, FWIW...
Although thyroid hormones (both synthroid and cytomel), have made a huge difference for me, I would have to say that even though I have primary hypothyroidism, the thyroid hormones alone would not adequately treat my depression. When I've reduced my AD dosages, the depression has worsened. BUT, the ADs did not really work at all until the thyroid meds were at current dosage--ie, until hypothyroidism was adequately treated.
