Thanks for the info, Margery :) I guess I'll just hang out at 75 mcg for awhile

and hope that my RT3 clears sooner rather than later --- I still feel really

crappy. But I've read that when it does clear, people sometimes feel

dramatically better almost overnight, so that helps me hang onto some hope.

Also, I may go back to Cynomel or try Cytomel --- I just recently went to the

generic, and that may not be helping matters...

am taking Cytomel. I've been increasing by 6.25 mcg every 7 days and am now at

75 mcg. My resting heart rate tends to be high (80s or sometimes even 90s) but

hasn't gotten higher. Should I keep upping my Cytomel the way I have been, or

should I hold at 75 mcg for awhile and wait for the RT3 to clear, so that I

don't get hyperthyroid symptoms? Thanks :)

I've never used it, but some here have posted that the generic did not work well

for them.

" For me, the generic was absolutely useless...� I'd been on the name brand for

a while and when my insurance made me switch it was like I was taking ZERO

T3...� Had to go with the Mexican Cynomel, which worked much better for me... "

I've read several posts about sudden RT3 clearance. Here's an excerpt from

Moderator Nick:

" I would expect slow progress and then a sudden breakthrough at around

the 12 week mark "
