Re: Nick, Recommended Regimen for Rapid Adapter?

[Guest guest]

How high was your RT3 and how long have you been on T3 onyl? If not

long you may just need higher T3 levels ot break through the resistance.

Someof us just remain hypo until a very high Rt3 is reduced and no

amount of higher dosoing or faster raising will compensate until the Rt3

is reduced.

RT3: 318 pg/mL (90 - 350)

FT3: 2.2 pg/ML (2.0 - 4.4)

Have been on t3 for about 3 weeks, up to 175mcg/day and hit a point where I'm

having rapid pulse (over 90) and heart pounding (temps low, though). Also, I

slept through a dose prior to this headache (which happens on the rare occasion

that I sleep deeply for a few hours). So, this dosing regimen just doesn't seem

good - not sleeping through the night can't be doing my adrenals any good.

Likewise, I ask because I also wonder how someone who is a rapid adapter can

wean off gradually without having a constant disabling headache.

Thanks, .

woah....that seems like a lot to be on in only 3 weeks. Isnt the high pulse a sign of too much T3 and the low temps a sign that your adrenals aren't handling the high dose???

Yes, precisely my point. If I go up slow enough to get stable temps and

whatnot, I'll have headaches. Just not sure what I can do.

It isn't.

> Have been on t3 for about 3 weeks, up to 175mcg/day

Unless you've started from a huge dose of Natural Thyroid, 175mcg/day is way too

much for week 3. You've seen Nick's website recommendation on dosing;

http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/dosing.htm

As per that site, if starting from no thyroid meds at all, week three dose

should be (very) roughly 50mcg (starting at 12.5mcg, increasing by 6.25mcg every

3-5 days).

I honestly don't know how you can taper down without a headache. I do that that

high pulse usually means too much T3.

from

http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/doineed.htm

This looks to me, for starters, like excessive T3 with too rapid an increase

schedule. That may in itself be the reason for the headaches. The few adverse

reactions people on this group have had, (while following Nick's website slow

and sensible increase schedule) have been from poor adrenal function and/or low

iron. So proceeding on the T3-only route successfully requires getting adrenals

and iron in good shape first.

Iron link:

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ferritin/

Please note that in addition to a ferritin of 70-90, we now recommend an iron

panel test; % saturation should be 35-45

> do you have any recommendations for a so-called rapid adapter

Is " rapid adapter " a 's term? Here's a link to info about 's T3

protocol, a protocol which in my opinion will smash one's adrenals to bits.
