Introducing t3
-
Hi, I’ve been taking T4 for the past 10 years (50 mcg per day) and haven’t seen any improvement in my hypothyroidism. Recently, I got hold of 5 mcg T3 tablets.
I’m planning to start with 50 mcg T4 + 5 mcg T3, split into two doses of 2.5 mcg.
I suspect I may be running on high adrenaline as my blood pressure is constantly elevated, so I’m a bit concerned about the adrenaline response of the first t3 dose. How can I reduce it?
I’ve also read about a week-long protocol using T3 + T4 to “reset” the system and then stopping altogether (can't find it). Is that viable in my case, given that I’ve been taking T4 for so long?
Thx

@awawat it's small but just in case: taking it with enough food is vital.

@LetTheRedeemed That's what she said!

@awawat there’s more where that came from
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Also, I would consider your rT3 levels if you’ve taken only T4 with no results for a while.
Peat talked about success with low doses over a course of 6-24 months. Maybe you could play with higher ratios of t3 to t4 in your lunch and dinner doses.
Danny Roddy probably has the most complied info on practical thyroid use, between convos with Peat, and feedback with health coaching. I think he might have a concise vid on using thyroid on YouTube
