Re: Do I need to go back to Cytomel?

[Guest guest]

a,

That has helped me with heart issues. When I was having problems Nick had suggested taking smaller doses closer together ie. 6.25 mcg every 2 hours instead of 12.5 every 4 hours. I also cut caffeine out and that helped my heart issues.

Hope this helps.

Is there a possibility that the heart rate won't be affected as much if I take the Cytomel in 6.25 mcg increments versus 12.5 mcg increments?Thanks,a> > > > >> > >Do you think it would be

Thanks Beth I appreciate the reply. I did a little experiment this morning. I

just got some saliva test results and it showed that my morning cortisol is

pretty low (8 AM that is - midnight and 4 Am are high). I just got off HC in

March so still had some 5 mg HC tablets. When I first got up and was getting

some water, my meds, etc. my heart rate was hovering between 115 and 125 and I

felt like I needed to sit down. I took 10 mg HC and within about 20 minutes my

heart rate (walking around) dropped to about 75. Amazing!

Beth,

I take that back...my heart rate is higher again now. Not as high as this

morning, but definitely too high. Bummer!
