Question about Thyroid Medication

[Guest guest]

I'm fairly new here and would like to know what the thoughts are about taking T3

alone.

I'm taking 25mcg of Cytomel now.

For years and I mean years I tried to take Armour, Naturethroid, other forms of

dessicated. I could only take very small amounts and even these small amounts

created anxiety and other symptoms. Then I finally diagnosed myself with severe

adrenal exhaustion. Went off thyroid medication all together and still had bad

anxiety and whole host of other sytmptoms. I tried eveything for adrenals -

natural. Even Isocort didn't touch them. So I went on HC for 2.5 years. So

glad I'm not on this steriod anymore but I believe it saved my life. As little

as 6 months ago I tried Naturethroid again only a small amount to start and the

anxiety started up again. Then I learned about Reverse T3 and thought this

explained why I couldn't tolerate T3/T4 thyroid. I then started on just the T3

medication and was able to go up high enough to I think clear RT3. I was up to

87mcg. A few months ago my temps shot up/ pulse shot up and I decreased T3 to

current doseage and seemed to be doing fine.

I am definitely hypo - depressed, low energy, hair loss, sleeping problems ect.

Blood work comfirmed yesterday Free T3 is 3.0.

I started Ioderal 1/2 tab 2 days ago with companion supplements and slightly

increased my T3.

How does straight T3 work with getting Iodine on board?

Are there others that can't take Armour but take T3 only?

Blessings
