@AnxiousMess Dr. Ray Peat suggested starting at 4mcg or a 6th of a tablet a day. And take that dose for a week or two measuring your responses. Danny Roddy also mentioned recently that if u take more than 10mcg at a time your liver essentially destroys it. You also need to make sure you’re eating enough carbohydrates to support the increase in metabolism or you will get these adrenaline responses.
I’ve been on T3 mono therapy for over a year and am doing great at one 25mg tablet broken up through the day.

@AnxiousMess said in Appetite loss:

When experiencing stress related loss of appetite should you force yourself to eat or simply wait for the desire to return?

For me, it depends on the stress, i.e., if it’s the result of low blood sugar, and if the stress is acute or chronic. If the stress is not the result of hypoglycemia and is acute, I wait until the stress has passed before I consume anything or else it will upset my stomach and exacerbate my stress, but if it’s chronic, I consume frequently and in small portions easy to digest, stress reducing foods—for me that means a combination of simple sugars, saturated fat and salt so something like salted caramel ice cream or fruit juice with a chunk of raw goat cheese.

Perhaps need to address it more via mental health therapies than trying to medicate with supplements, if you're usually calm in other scenarios.
