Re: SHBG and T3 - continued

[Guest guest]

Mike,

I am on T3 I take 150 mcgs of generic Synthroid and I take 5 mcgs. of T3 only

3x's / day. It's not the T3 it's them high dose's people end up on to lower the

RT3.

Now don't get me wrong this site is great if you need to get RT3 down not

everyone with a lab saying there RT3 is high needs to do this.

http://thyroid-rt3.com/

It's people taking very high dose's of T3 that can end up with very high SHBG

some take over 125 mcgs this is a lot.

I like to tell people to read this link about RT3 there are things you can do

before trying T3 only meds that might lower ones RT3. If you don't figure out

why your RT3 is high getting it down on T3 only meds when you come off them your

RT3 is just going to go back up again.
