The T3 will be mostly gone in a week.

It will take your system 6 to 8 weeks to restore to it's natural state

though as your thyroid T4 levels have to reappear and stabilise

After the week you will be in a hypo dip

T3

has a half life in humans of two days, so it leaves your very quickly. You

start to lose the effect of this active hormone after 6 to 8 hours and this is

why we recommend splitting the dose to take it either twice or three times a

day, or even more if you are taking large doses. This is the reason why we

recommend stopping T3 medication for at least 24 hours before getting blood

drawn for a thyroid function test, otherwise, you get a false reading as T3

peaks in the blood between 2 to 4 hours after taking it.
