Cytomel and meds question!

Hi forum,

I am new here but it's been many years that I am a reader of the many forums. so, without having never met any of you online,
I know some of the members by reading their posts and I am pleased to meet you here!

I have a few questions and I will try to be as specific and brief as possible, here goes:

CYTOMEL: I take Cytomel along with Wellbutrin and Lamictal for my manic-depression, anxiety disorder and slightly bi-polar
on the corners. for me, the combo is a winner and a life saver as I feel a lot better. not perfectly better, but a great improvement
since my last crisis... The questions are:

Is 25mg of Cytomel daily is harmful long term if your thyroid is normal? I have had a blood test lately to check the , euh.. ths, or something level
in my blood and my doctor said that my level is a little bit on the HIGH side, so, she wants me to reduce Cytomel to 20mg daily. As I
heard and red a lots of conflicting reports on the fact that the blood tests for thyroid are mostly not accurate and a lots of peoples goes around
still being Hypo even with a supposed normal level, I wonder because before taking Cytomel, I was sluggish, gaining weight even
with training and jogging 3 times a week and walking almost daily, tired, sleeping too much, irritable, depressed etc... you know, all those
symptoms related to a thyroid problems.I started with Wellbutrin last March, then my doctor prescribed me 5mg of Cytomel that I ramped up to 25mg slowly to BOOST the Wellbutrin
and then she prescribed me Lamictal. so, is there dangers of taking Cytomel with a normal thyroid ( IF mine is normal that is)? it
would be a shame to stop taking it because I feel SO great physivcaly and I have SO much energy etc,,,

ALSO: Can Cytomel, Wellbutrin or Lamictal can induce hearth problems, heart attack? Since a few days, I have a slight spasms-
light pain on the left breast that comes an goes and that sometime slightly irradiate to the back on the same side. its not super-painful but
I am a bit nervous about it. maybe it's muscular or else, but, I am trying to decide if I should go to hospital see a doc about it.

So, Anybody here that takes any of the meds mentioned above have advices about Cytomel and answers for my questions about the other meds also?

Do i have reasons to be nervous? can ALL these meds can be inducing hearth problems OR one of them? what should I do?!?

Comments and answers would be very appreciated. thanks in advance!

hi frenchster, first your english is excellent, secondly your thyroid needs some attention. my advice, ask to see a specialist, an over or under active thyroid is a problem in itself, and by seeing a specialist he/she can see how it is functioning at different levels of your prescribed medications. other considerations may well be your combination of meds, blood pressure, anxiety-this can play games with your thyroid and ofcourse your diet. with pains in your chest, if it happens again call for an ambulance. better to be safe than sorry. sorry no doc, thus i would continue to see yours about this. i wish you well, welcome to the forum and good luck. cheers.

Thanks Frenchster,

The wellbutrin symptoms could go away in time. So dont' give up on it yet. I hope that you get some answers.
