I started Cytomel at 25 mcg at age 38 while also taking the 50 mcg of Synthroid I had been for months. At the time, I was not high in TSH, I just wanted to try augmenting my MAOI with Cytomel. I believe my doc should have lowered my Synthroid when he added the Cytomel. If he had, perhaps I would not have gone hyper. Or at least not as much.
So at this point, I do think adding Cytomel again at 7.5 makes some sense. I bet he will just want to raise the Synthroid. That is if he believes me that 5.12 is too high of a TSH.
