Hi Chloe..it sounds like you are really sensitive to the T3. But weren't you taking another medication which can also cause an elevated heart rate and sweating? I know what you mean about the pill size! I take 10 mcg. per day myself, and when I look at that tiny pill, it does look as if it would crumble altogether if I tried to cut it. Well, I guess you wouldn't be the first person to take a few crumbles while you wait to find out how your TSH is doing!
I am doing a bit better than I was, thank you. I am taking tianeptine and fish oil, in addition to the Cytomel. Because I have such high cortisol levels, and have read that they can be associated with memory problems after ECT, I am quite fearful of having that. Instead, I have decided to join a trial of rTMS in January. I think it's basically the same as ECT in its method of action, but they give it a little differently- daily for between two and five weeks, and there's no anesthesia involved.
