Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi Amy, Glad that tip worked for you! You will probably notice another swing to hypo soon, so be sensitive as you can to it. The stage you're in, where your body is 'learning' to curtail hormone production based on the 'signals' from the ATD's (ok this is SO unscientific, but that's how I see it!) tends to continue happening, until you reach a relatively stable level for the maintenance dose that Elaine often talks about. That spot could be anywhere from 10 mg. a day down to practically nothing (I'm now taking 1/4 of a 5 mg. pill 3 x a day). The trick is to lower the dose gradually; it seems to have a better effect, just as taking the daily dose in 3 parts does.
