Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I agree with you. I had issues with sleep also. The docs all said to get off the T3. I am now 20 mcg of T3 at night. I have not been able to successfully take it in the day. I have high cortisol at night and this has helped me wean down on the sleeping medication. Rhonda Re: sleep and t3 I thought I might share my experience. I have had severe insomnia for 13 years. I have been to every doctor, endo, nutritionist, ER, it has been bad. Most doctors said, "It sounds like thyroid, " but with no answer. I finally raised my T3 to 75 mcg. What helped the most was moving my T3 doses to lunch, dinner and then bedtime. I have been doing this for about 8 weeks and fall asleep about 75% of the time and sleep until the morning. It was before this that I was awake the entire night as often happened. I was told not to take thyroid at night, but this has been working for me. I just thought I would write in case this helps anyone else. I have to thank Val and all the moderators for their help. It has been so helpful to me and my family. I am still working on my HC, but I know this plays a role as well. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 >It seems the bedtime t3 dose makes you sleepy? and by day the t3 does not make you sleepy? interesting. Yes, my theory is that it lowers cortisol at night and that helps you sleep. For it to work for me I need to take it as I put the light out, take it earlier and it wakes me up. The quality of my sleep has improved, I need less of it, and I wake up feeling refreshed and " not hypo " . I was very doubtful about trying it as I had found that Natural after 2pm kept me awake.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 TYrouble falling asleep is usually the last dose before the bedtime dose of HC is too high. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
