Re: Re: 75mg T3 in 3 grains of armour

Well had been on HC for about a year and half before I noticed that I might need to start trying to wean a few months back. I started SRT3 in April of '09 and I didn't start taking Cytomel until December '09. Shortly thereafter is when I noticed things were coming together and felt I didn't need the HC. My temps actually started dropping each time I took my HC. I kept thinking that my adrenals were not doing well only to discover with time it was quiet the opposite. My body was telling me that the adrenals were healing and that I didn't need as much HC. So I started weaning(2.5mg a week) and right away my temps were stable and normal. I have done very well since then. Val has said that adequate T3 doses are good for the adrenals and I just don't think the SR was adequate for this healing to take

place. Of course you have to be sure that the adrenals are supported while increasing the T3 to adequate levels to allow this healing.

Hey, thanks for that.i'm getting my adrenals sorted out first. i was on t3 before and nothing happened then i went back to it and it worked for a week. then it stopped working. that was years ago now.i hate feeling cold and miserable. but im giving it another try.did it take long for you to respond?steve >> Val takes around 125mcg. these days I think.  I take 87.5mcg.  There are various dosage levels amounst all of us.  Val does normally state that most of us need between 75-125mcg of T3 o clear out RT3 levels but I know some on higher, and lower doses once they actaully settle on a final dose.  > > >

Forgot to mention that prior to taking the SRT3 I had been on a number of different thyroid meds starting with Levoxyl, then Armour and then a combo of Levoxyl(125mcg) + 120mg Armour for about three years. I guess during this time is when the RT3 problem was building.
