Nick's website has a great page on this http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/dosing.htm

The rest of his website is really useful, too http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/

> Hi, Nick helped me a while ago. I can't find how to begin dosing cytomel.(I

know it's there, somewhere) I had been taking up to 10 grains thyroid S with no

relief. I posted my numbers, so won't take up space now. Anyway, endo rx'd 25mcg

of cytomel and 100mg synthroid. I will not take the synthroid. So, this is how

I've started. Don't know how I feel as I had foot surgery and many pain killers

this past week. Anyway, I quit cold turkey thyroid S for 3 days, got the cytomel

and am cutting in 1/2 so each dose is about 12.5 taking sublingully at 10 am and

3 pm.

> Questions are: how quickly do I increase dosage and how will I tell when I

have reached optimal? Is there a lowest effective dose?

> I would also like you to guess what my numbers will look like in May when I go

for a re-check.
