My internist is an integrative medicine doctor and uses Armour thyroid because it supposedly works on both the T3 and T4. I've had great results with it even though pharmacists tend to look at me like I'm nuts when I first go there with my prescriptions. It's not a popular choice these days.
I didn't need thyroid, though, until I had been on Effexor for quite some time. Now that I am off of Effexor, I will need to have my TSH levels checked again to be sure that I don't need to lower the dosage.
You are right, though, thyroid is amazingly important in helping to ward off so many problems, including depression.
