Dosing Schedule Needs Help Please

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'm following Nick's advice on the rt3 site and picked time slots to fill in,

but I'm not sure if I'm on the best plan for me. I don't get up until 9, so my

time slots have been 9, 12, 3 and bedtime. I wasn't sure whether to add in a

dose at 6 or add to the 9 a.m. slot. Taking it at 6 seems late (although I don't

go to bed until 11 or 12 anyway) and I'm tired in the morning and afternoon, not

in the evenings. I actually seem to feel better in the evenings for some reason.

Any advice on dosing?

Thank you,

Kathleen

The answer is we are all different, try it and see what works for you.

For me spreading it out as much as possible works best. It's less

stress on the adrenals. I don't find sleep problems from taking T3 in

the evening whereas I did with Natural.

Thank you, Nick. I guess I knew it would come down to " try and see! " lol ;-)

I read your reply to someone else where you said that taking the night and

bedtime doses left more in your system for the morning -- which is when I need

it! :-)

The bedtime dose doesn't bother me, either, and I am not a good sleeper, so I

was really worried on that one. Oddly, it doesn't give me any adrenal issues,

either, (I wake up with good basals) and I don't take a bedtime dose of HC.

Maybe I should even try raising the bedtime dose instead of the AM dose? So many

possibilities to try!

Still, with so much dosing, makes me wonder why we don't just take the sustained

release? It *seems* it would be easier.

Thanks again

My dose experimenting will begin today. :-)

Thanks for all your help, Nick!
