Then add 6.25mcg at 10 am for 5 days, then 6.25mcg at 4pm also for 5 days. Then add 12.5 in at the 10am/4pm the next 5 days each-- up to 125mcg, as long as my temp. stay normal. When should I add in the bedtime dose? Can I take T3 with meals? Do I want to take it sublingually? Can I switch between Cytomel and Cynomel? Thanks for you help my Dr. didn't tell me anything.... > > Judy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Okay , I should still start with 50 mcg, right? Just don't exceed 75-80mcg thru the 1st 6 weeks or don't exceed during the entire 12 weeks? Thanks.
