I am curious I have read a few web articles stating that adding T3 along with T4 can help with symptoms of depression and needing to take antidepressants.

I was wondering if any of you have heard any doctors arguments for Synthroid only (t4) or T3/T4 combo.

right now i am on synthroid and welbrutrin(antidepressant) and honestly would prefer to be on T4 and T3 if that would solve the problem instead of an antidepressant.

It is about 3 months before i will be seeing my endochronologist and was kinda hopeing for an answer or some feedback before i ask him about it.

thanks
Craig
