Not tolerating T3 protocol

[Guest guest]

I would like to start NTH and gradually come off t3. I am not doing well with

protocol.

Switched from 100mcg srt3 to cynomel on 7/15. Started HC on 7/7 25mg.

Was on srt3 since OCt 2009, had rt3 (synthroid 62) and low t3 so ramped slowly

up 100mcg.

LABs 3/02/10 Was on 62.5T4 and srt3 (small amts) but stopped T4

after these results. Started ramping srt3 slowly

tsh 2.48

Ft4 0.4 (0.8-1.8)

Ft3 283 (230-420)

Was taking my SRt3 in am only and tolerating well but got tired at 4 so

retrospect should of dosed 2xd.

Then broke up doses to 3xd and decreased dose because of concerns of dumping

when starting HC. went down to 65 SRt3 Before starting switch.

7/7 After starting HC got headaches, yeast problems. Temp got stable although

they were not too bad before.

7/15 Started changing over SRt3 to cynomel starting switch in am dose 25mcg

(50mcg srt3), other doses switched over gradually. Then found out I needed to

spread out doses to 4xd, so I did and increased every couple of days as

directed. Got up to 62.5mcg t3. Tolerating until..

8/2 STARTED WITH ADVERSE REACTIONS TO PROTOCOL

symptoms: ( decreased t3 to 25mg, now at 31.25 unable to increase.)

Waking up 3-4am with hrt pounding, racing,adrenaline surges.extreme weakness.

Unable to function all day

B/p 120/80,120/78,110/68,100/82(standing). TEMPS as above

This contin on a daily basis now. I've been unable to function normally which I

need to change my approach as this is not working.

I was thinkig about trying to either go back to the SRt3 as before and just

increase it like i was and dose 2xd OR start NTH (haven't done that yet).

What are your thoughts
