My rt-3 cleared, help with next steps

[Guest guest]

About 18 days ago I believe my rt-3 cleared. I was on 160 generic cytomel (increased dosage since December) I became very anxious, blood pressure and pulse went up. I followed Nick's protocol and settle in to a dose of 15mcg's cytomel. Just 4 days before it cleared, I had had a blood draw. My results:

TSH .010 (.450-4.5)

T-4 1.3 (4.5-12.0)

T-3 187 (71-180)

Ferritin 84

Rt-3 0.24 (6.7-21.8)- the lab ran it three times and called my because they could not believe I got it so low from my last test of 12.68. They wanted to know how I did it.

My temperature is around 97 (up from 95) but has never been normal. I was feeling great- so much energy! But the last 4 days I have been feeling a bit tired again. Not horribly, but I am not feeling as well/energized as I was. I am also craving sweets. I will be 49 in May and have not had a period since Sept.

Do you think I need more t-3? I am still taking iron and rhodiola rosea and vit-D and other vitamins. Please advise. I do NOT want to go backwards!

I would need a FT3 to really know where you are at btu you wer NOT hyper

with these labs. You were nto on enough. Hyper symptoms oyu felt were

either low Iron OR LOW CORTISOL

Val,

I spent about 3 days feeling hyper and not tolerating the cytomel. Could my

adrenals do this for 3 days? So it sounds like I should starting increasing my

cytomel? I will go in and have blood work done again and get a FT-3 done as

well. I thought 160 mcg of cytomel (generic) would have been enough. I ramped

up for 3 months. I thank you for you insight!
