Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm in my 9th week on T3 only. For 8 days I was on 93.75 mcg generic T3 before my Cynomel arrived on Monday. After 1 day on Cynomel (93.75 mcg) my temps dropped. The last two mornings basal temps have been 96.8, and daily avg's have dropped to 98.0. I increased the Cynomel today to 100 mcg., but I'm not noticing any increase in temps. Is it possible the Cynomel is not as effective for me as the generic? Or is the drop in temp because I still havn't cleared RT3 and am still trying to get to my optimal dose? I'm also on HC--Currently on 35mg, after weaning down from 50mg over the past 3 weeks. Any insights would be most appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 hey susan, i believe that cynomel is actually stronger than generic T3, and from peoples experiences i think it is roughly 6.25mcg stronger... so in essence you just had a t3 raise that maybe your adrenals couldnt handle and lowered your temps... just my humble opinion > > I'm in my 9th week on T3 only.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 RaTHER i HTINK THE cYNOML MAY BE TOO STRONG FOR YOU AND CAUSING ADRENAL STRESS. I would reduce the dose and see if temps come back up some. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ > I'm in my 9th week on T3 only.
