Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 >This waiting is frusterating... >Will be glad to hear other's experience on the time it took the t4 to go down. so the could increase t3 meds... My journey started from a very high level of T4 and T3 (12 grains of natural) I swapped onto 100 of T3 as a starting dose and felt fine, stuck with that dose for a week, hit hyper when the T4 levels sunk low enough to start converting properly and dropped to 25 of T3 a day for a couple of days, edged up over a week or so to 100 again and then increased at 12.5 every week or two from there based on symptoms. My starting point was very severe resistance and most people wouldn't end up where I did which was around the 225 to 250 mark at the 11 week point. At clearance I dropped that to 50 or so spread across the day and ramped up again from there hitting 125 inside a few days and then adding a little more over the following months. With hindsight I had resistance from an RT3 buildup as well as an inerrant resistance. It was adding enough natural to overcome that inherent resistance that caused an excess level of T4 which in turn produced RT3 and made the resistance worse. This was my journey, yours may be different. The amazing part is the way the RT3 resistance clears suddenly, it's not logical in any way but it happens.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 To the guys writing above:I don't understand somethingI have stopped t4 med and started at a low dose of t3 - 18 mcg a day. And even this in on the edge of hyper. How could it be that you are on such a high amount of t3? Haven't you started like me from small doses of t3? It probably will take me forever to reach the amout of t3 you guys take. Is it because i was on t4 only and you were on t4+t3 (natural)?Please don't tell me you started with that high dose!
