Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I was directed to this site by a kinesiologist that I went to today. She wants me to look the side effects of all of the medications that I am on to make sure that none of my symptoms are being caused by them. I really like this site. In looking up Cytomel I found the following: " Severe and prolonged hypothyroidism can lead to a decreased level of adrenocortical activity commensurate with the lowered metabolic state. When thyroid-replacement therapy is administered, the metabolism increases at a greater rate than adrenocortical activity. This can precipitate adrenocortical insufficiency. Therefore, in severe and prolonged hypothyroidism, supplemental adrenocortical steroids may be necessary. In rare instances the administration of thyroid hormone may precipitate a hyperthyroid state or may aggravate existing hyperthyroidism.
