@cs3000 heat production is good for the most of the time, but still rt3 is building up, ill figure it out sonner or later, being patient is hard and take slow aproach to thing plus memory is short, this cortisol
Supps iv been there multiple times and had same conclusion lol

@FitnessMikey

Seens it primarily increases dopamine, (and norepinephrine a bit also) which would lower prolactin and serotonin (two stress related substances iirc).

Alternatives...

boost metabolism (mitochondria repair etc) boost dopamine lower serotonin and prolactin lower cortisol/ACTH/(estrogen?) aka anti-stress

Some quotes on Medikinet:

Medikinet is an extended-release methylphenidate medication, while Ritalin is a short-acting methylphenidate medication

Methylphenidate primarily acts as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI).

Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant and increases the activity of the central nervous system through inhibition on reuptake of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine.

Methylphenidate is most active at modulating levels of dopamine (DA) and to a lesser extent norepinephrine (NE). Methylphenidate binds to and blocks dopamine transporters (DAT) and norepinephrine transporters (NET).

so essentially :

porcine NDT with meals - raise only T3/FT3 to the optimal levels and my FT4/T4 drop to bottom and all severe symptoms appear.

Raising only t3 levels helps only a bit with symptoms.

taking T4 (on empty) and some NDT(with meals) - i see major improvements for some time before rt3 builds up and blocks metabolism and causes accumulation of the supplemental hormones to high levels in the serum.

Lately I’ve been wondering if when stress hormones are high, and thyroid is supplemented, if it’s possible there’s a “grace period” where stress hormones are high, AND the supplemental thyroid combine for people experiencing wellness. Then, as the thyroid supplementation continues, the stress hormones drop and the net energy seems “lower” due to the lack of stress hormones with the supplemental thyroid. I think the solution is to continue thyroid supplementation and increase it as Peat recommends, (half a grain every two weeks).

I can’t tell you how many time I’ve seen people take pro-metabolic substances, get a fantastic initial reaction, and then their previous symptoms return. At which point, they give up, or move on to another substance and repeat the process. This is exactly what happened to me too when I first began trying to incorporate Peat’s work. Not saying it’s what happening to you, but just something I’ve seen many times.

B1 at around 150mg a day cured me of all my digestive issues of "IBS", which I had struggled with for years, in a few days. Wasn't expecting it to do that at all, was taking it for something unrelated. I no longer need to take it daily and feel I need a "top up" of B1 every week or two. This was around 18 months ago and still have no issues.
