> That's so interesting- just T3 for bipolar according to the psych. literature. You have a great pdoc, reading new articles and e-mailing you back so quickly! I'm looking forward to hearing how it works for you- and GOOD LUCK with it.

Yes, my pdoc is great with e-mail. I think I found a medium that she feels comfortable with. For years I would try to reach her by phone and it could be days or more before she would get back to me. And the conversations tended to be quite stilted and awkward. With the computer, she usually gets back to me within a day, and with alot of detail, support, information, etc. It really is working out very well.Pfinstegg, in an earlier post you said 12.5 ug's of Cytomel is a good place to start. How does a ug compare to a mcg? Or how much is a ug? I know you take t3 and t4, could you tell me again how much you take and how it makes you feel? And do you notice any side effects? Thankfully, I have no side effects so far...The bottle of Cytomel says it has "no known side effects if it's taken correctly." Do you think 5 mcgs is enough to do anything positive for me? If I am making you repeat yourself I am sorry. My memory isn't what it used to be...
Thanks again
Chloe
