Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Does clearing the RT3 'start' when one is on the 75mcg-100mcg+ of T3 for the 12+ weeks? Or does it 'start' once someone is taking T3 only? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it 'start' once someone is taking T3 only? The timing for 12 weeks starts when then stop taking T4 and take T3 instead. the actual clearance starts part way through that time. If you were very slow at the start of the ramp up due to cortisol or ferritin issues then it will be longer than 12 weeks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Nick- Thank you. I am confused about my dosage of T3 and if I should stop taking the T3/T4 combo as I don't want to keep making RT3.. (I am the one with the low ferritin " 25 " in December but have been on 189mg+ of iron since then). I am currently taking 12.50mcg/ 12.50mcg/12.50mcg/11.25mcg daily PLUS the T4 (21mcg)/T3 (9mcg) combo. The total T3 supplement I am on is 48.75mcg (plus the extra t3 from the combo= 57.55mcg). I am increasing 5mcg every 3 days. Temps and pulse are good. At this point, I am taking a lot more T3 than T4... I have been thinking of just stopping the combo pill. I am planning on testing ferritin next week or the week after... any suggestions/thoughts? > > Does clearing the RT3 'start' when one is on the 75mcg-100mcg+ of T3 for the 12+ weeks?

If you stop it dead you might notice a slight difference in a week's time, if so just increase the T3 a little faster Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Nick- When I stop the T4/T3 combo, do I just need to add that t3 amount of 9mcg back in that day?
