Guest guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I forgot to mention, previous to my weight gain,I had ammenhorrea for a 5 years, and low estrogen/progesterone levels. After beginning T3 therapy, I have began menstruating again, which was a big relief for me! Which is also why I thought I'd lose the gained weight, with my estrogen balancing out... Hello! I have been on liothyronine (generic cytomel) for about 5months now, and have increased my dose to the highest possible without disturbing sleep and fast heart beat. (Additionally, I have been taking iron, as I had low iron). I gained 10 pounds out of nowhere, 3 years ago, and have other hyposymptoms (finally had a doc that checked ALL thyroid and labs said I had high RT3 so that's why I began the liothyronine) Anyhow, I've always eaten a diet free of refined sugars, gluten free, dairy free, exercise everyday and eat appropriate calories. Despite this I gained 10 pounds, and there is nothing I can do to lose weight, because I already do it all! I was hoping the liothyronine would help but just hasn't. Anyone else have feedback, or experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
