switching from SR T3 to Cytomel

[Guest guest]

From my reading here and at Nick's RT3 site, I requested that my doctor switch me from SR T3 to Cytomel. I understand that Cytomel is stronger, so maybe I shouldn't start at the same dose I've been on? For a month, I've been on 15 mcg twice a day of SR T3, so how should I dose the Cytomel? I know I'll need to take it more than my current twice daily dose of SR. What dose should I start with, and how frequently? I know I'm supposed to go by symptoms in increasing it, so I just need a good starting point. The instructions on the prescription say 2 to 4 tablets every 6 to 8 hours. They're 5 mcg tablets.

Thanks for any help on this.
