ok. Still take the 2.5mcg at night before I go to bed? and then gradually

increase that to the 6.25mcg?

I have the Cynomel but those are 25mcg. If I split in half that is 12.5mcg and

if I split the half in half AGAIN, that is 6.25mcg.

>If I start taking the 6.25mcg in place of the 5mcg, will that cause a problem?

AAUUGGH.

Are you going up 2.5 a time due to problems with bigger increases??

If you took a quarter 3 times a day that would be 19 or so which is

not an unreasonable increase from the 15 you are on at the moment.

Maybe this is the time to go to the Cynomel, take a quarter tablet 3

times a day to start with and then a few days later add your 4th dose

back in of another quarter making 25 a day,

Each time you increase make sure that pulse and temperature are OK

first and that you are ready for the increase

Keep those few CyTomel in case a few smaller increases are needed at

some stage.

Is it Branded or generic?? The Grossman CyNomel is stronger than the

US generics by all accounts

Nick-

At my last check in November/December, my ferritin was 25.

I have been taking 189mg of iron daily since December so I was doing slow

increments of T3.

I haven't tried 'big' increases... 2.5mcg at a time... I watch my temps/pulse...

I take the T3 with my isocort (4xs per day) and I had included the 2.5mcg at 9pm

before I go to bed as I was tired in the morning...

I have been taking the brand name Cytomel and recently got the Cynomel- just

haven't opened the bottle.
