Another possible adverse effect from T3 is heart arrhythmias, from the up and down effects because it is relatively short acting (as opposed to T4, which is the more stable form of thyroid hormone, while T3 is the more active). That is why my endo told me to split the dose in two rather than taking the whole thing once a day.
If you are interested, try the Mary Shomon (author of "Living Well with Hypothyroidism")web site. She has a page where people recommend doctors. That is how I found my endocrinologist who is wonderful.
Other info is in the thyroid and depression folder at the Psychobabble yahoo site--see link at top of main psychobabble page.
