What dosage should I begin from my SR to Cytomel?

[Guest guest]

My cynomel from Mexico has not come in. I called my Dr. for cytomel

prescription and will have it today and start on it tomorrow.

Currently I doing:

SR T3 26.25 8am

SR T3 7.50 2pm

Total: 33.75

I know SR T3 is weak and trying to estimate a starting point with cytomel w/o

going backwards.

I am thinking 20? 5 5 5 5 intervals? The intervals can be adjusted later once

I get the feel of cytomel in my system. Just trying a baseline for now.

I have been on this dose for two days and will need to increase tomorrow or the

next.

Thanks -

Go for 20 as a starting point and then add an extra dose the next day

if you feel it's not too much.

You can make the decision at each dosing time whether pulse and

temperature are OK to take it or whether to delay the dose

Thanks.

I noticed my SR T3 only lasts for 6 hours in my system. Since I have been

slowly increasing I noticed I get more hypo around the 3rd day. One would think

I would get less hypo when I increase the T3 but I get more hypo.

The adrenals are supporting me so far. When I take a T3 and wait an hour and do

my temp it increases.

For example, when I become more hypo I increase my T3, then my temps raise for 2

days and they are stable. Then by the 3rd day they drop and I feel the hypo

setting in. I am so tired by 8pm and want to go to bed so early, and my hair is

getting dry. Then I increase the T3 the next day and my temps will jump back

up.

Like my body is a desert and it is soaking up the rain so fast the ground is

still dry and you'd think it didn't rain.

This is normal.

As you increase T3 your TSH goes down, your own thyroid production

reduces, the amount from converted T3 sinks and you are back to where

you started in terms of FT3.

This is to be expected, when you get to the point where your own

thyroid stops producing you will stabilise.

In the mean time you are reading your body right, increases are needed

every 3 to 7 days depending how big the increase was.
