Re: Need Guidance - tried recommendation, now can't sleep

[Guest guest]

I added 6.25 mcg T3 to my 5PM and bedtime dose and I couldn't sleep. I backed

off the 6.25 at bedtime (kept the extra 6.25 at 5 PM) and still couldn't sleep,

but also had a little drowsiness the next morning so I took 6.25 mcg an hour

after my 2 grains NTH in the morning and it helped with the drowsiness.

The next night I dropped the extra 6.25 mcg T3 at 5 PM and still couldn't sleep,

but I took 2 grains NTH with 6.25 mcg T3 in the morning and felt awake and

energized. Now the challenge is whether I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Note that I've been stressed the last two days because I had to train 15 people

by myself over the two days. I stressed dose yesterday 20 mg extra and 15 mg

extra today.

My temperatures are stable between 98.0-98.2, but not going up. Is it ok to add

the T3 to the early doses? Should I be watching for an opportunity to increase

the T3 or should I consider totally replacing the NTH with T3 and following the

protocol on the RT3 site?

Dosing as follows:

5AM - 2 Grains NTH w/10mg HC + 6.25 mcg T3

9AM - 10 mcg T3 w/10mg HC

1PM - 1.5 Grains NTH w/5mg HC

5PM - 6.25 mcg T3

9PM - 10 mcg T3 w/5mg HC

My ratio was 18% when I switched to the RT3 protocol.

Thank you,

temperatures are stable between 98 and 98.2, but my weight isn't budging.

I wondered if that might be the overriding factor.

I'm going on vacation next week, would you recommend trying the increase to my

5PM and bedtime doses of T3 again when the stress has subsided?

Thank you so much, Val!
