Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm at 3 weeks right now and already up to 75mcg because of how high I'd started (50mcg because I had been on 5 grains Armour). On the website it says most will be at that 75mcg by the 8 week mark. Am I ok? Should I not be increasing as much and what should be my final goal DURING the first 12 weeks? Pulse is fine, symptoms and energy are fine. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I doubt anyone knows the answer to that. I htink it depends on how scared oyu are of going hyper when you reach clearance. I wasn't the least bit afraid of it and was at 250mcg when my RT3 cleared. I DID go very hyper when it happened but it was a matter of a week after adjustign to get to the right dose after that and it did nOT crash my adrnelas in the least so I really can;t say we shouldn't go above a certain amount. >> >> >> http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ >> http://faqhelp.webs.com/ >> >> http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ >> http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ >> > I'm at 3 weeks right now and already up to 75mcg because of how high I'd started (50mcg because I had been on 5 grains Armour).

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 It looks to me like you've reached 75 sooner than some do, only because you started from 5 grains Armour. It's really hard to pinpoint what your 12 week dose will be. At least part of the goal isn't a certain dose, but rather relief from hypo symptoms. Usually an increase is recommended when/if hypo symptoms start to return, using pulse, temps and symptoms as guidelines. You've probably seen this already, but just in case, it's Moderator Nick's excellent web page " do I need to increase?
