Glad to hear that something is working for you. "Mood Disorder NOS" is another name for "Atypical Bipolar" and that has been one of my labels. I had a thyroid tumor 2 years ago (the same age my Mom had hers), and now I have half a thyroid. T4 or T3+T4 addition is something I have brought up with my pdoc several times. I am a rapid-cycler and I am not that worried about it. Hey, I am already a guinea pig anyways-why not try this? Paranoia. Wow, I would be tickled to just take my current Neurontin+Klonopin+lowdose Celexa and a dab of T3+T4 if I felt fine 10 out of 12 months of the year.
