Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi, I started T3 yesterday - I have 25 mcg Cynomel (Mex) and split one into 4 and took it at intervals throughout the day. I didn't feel any side effects. Today I took 12.5 am and 12.5 around 1ish and although I am not sure I could swear I feel a bit less tired - more alert??? Is it right that it can work as quick as that and if so could this bode well for it suiting me or is this psychological as I really want it to work?? Thanks Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hello StaceyI felt the same after my very first 12.5mg - slept better that night than for years and actually felt refreshed and not tired when I woke up next morning.I've been on T3 only (Mex) since August and have felt my main symptoms melting away one by one. I still have a way to go but I'm feeling much better and psychologically my outlook is better and I feel calmer and less panicky.Do make sure your adrenals can take the dose increases. I have been on Nutri Adrenal Extra 5 a day since I saw Dr Peatfield in October 2008. I tried to cut to 4 a day after starting T3 but some of my adrenal symptoms came back so I've increased NAX again.Good luck and I'm glad you are feeling the benefits of T3 already.Sue x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Sue, I am on NAX 3-4 a day as well as all the other vits. It is good to know that I may be moving in the right direction. Thanks Stacey - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Stacey, Yes T3 works very fast, It only stays in the blood for less than a day so it has to work fast. The reason we have t4 is because it can stay in the blood doing nothing, for weeks but the T3 is the active hormone... If only some doctors could grasp this!! x > > > Is it right that it can work as quick as that and if so could this bode well for it suiting me or is this psychological as I really want it to work?? > > Thanks > Stacey > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 T3 can work extremely quickly. It is very likely this is the medication your body has been crying out for. However, watch out when you make any increases. If at any time, you get palpitations, agitation, dire rear, feeling spaced out and generally hyPER. then don't take any more that day, and the following day, decrease your dose to the one you were on the day before, and that is usually the dose your body needs.
