Upping dose of T3 - advice would be appreciated

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am on one grain of Armour and on Dr P's advice I have started with Cytomel T3.

As per usual I started with a low dose of HALF a 5 tab in the morning two weeks

ago to

see if I could tolerate the T3 - I seemed to have no ill affects.

I have today upped it to a whole 5 tab in the morning. About three hours after

I took the

tablet my pulse was 95- 99. About three hours later my pulse went back to mid

70s.

Does this increase in pulse mean that I have increased too soon - or is the

higher pulse

normal after an increase and would settle down. Should I have taken the extra

half 5 tab

in the afternoon?

I am not sure if I should take the T3 along with the Armour or sometime after.

I take half a grain of Armour at about 6.30am and half at 1.30pm. My once a

week mid

afternoon BP was 150/95 - which seems to be normal for me at 61 years old.

Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
