I take my T3 4 times a day but save one third of my nighttime dose for during the night when I get up to use the bathroom. I think it's helping me to not have foot cramping when I get up in the morning.

Some people take a bed time dose - not sure if this works for you or not - it would be easiest to add it there. It is somewhat of a hassle to snap those pills apart, but if possible I would dose it 25, 18.75, 18.75, 12.5. Some have better results with a high-low-high-low type of pattern, so I'd also try 25, 18.75, 12.5, 18.75 and see which worked better for me.I believe generally that the T3 is better tolerated on a 4 times a day dosing schedule than a 3 times a day schedule; I think it is certainly worth a try.> > > >> > > > Hi> > > > > > > > > > > > I have been raising iron and magnesium a lot this past month and feeling better in general from that.

That is interesting. Do you take hc too? I am worried about taking t3 too far away from the hc, but maybe it doesn't matter?
