[QUOTE="MIP1950, post: 221908, member: 42988"] On stopthethyroidmadness.com some people are using hydrocortisone to improve adrenal function and uptake of T3 & T4. Not recommending that, just relating what I've read. It's good you're seeing a knowledgeable or open minded doctor. Some people do well on a larger amount of T4 with a small dose of T3, i.e. 10 mcg liothyronine to 100 mcg levothyroxine. You already know that it's trial and error. In the realm of psychiatry, there are two doctors, Peter Whybrow at UCLA and Michael Bauer in Germany, who use levothyroxine exclusively in treating bipolar. Patients have been titrated up to 500 mcg, daily. Also, a clinic in London uses only levothyroxine. On the other side is psychiatrist Dr. Tammas Kelly, now at the University of Buffalo, formerly in private practice, who uses only T3 in treating mood disorders. But if you've experienced a good response to T4, only, go back to that or add only a small amount of liothyronine. Another way is to add more T4 to along with desiccated. Several options. Somewhere in all that, IMO, is the elusive sweet spot. You'll get there. [/QUOTE]
