Guest guest Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Dr. P started me on T3. First week 12.5mcg in morning and I reduced my T4 from125mcg to 100mcg. I continued with all the supplements etc he had already got meto take. I did this for 2 weeks and tomorrow due to take another 12.5mcg middleof the day and reduce my T4 from 100mcg to 75mcg. Hello Sue, On the basis that T3 is roughly 4-5 times more potent than the effects of T4, I am not surprised that you are getting sweats..... - you reduced your T4 by 25 mcg and replaced it with 12.5 mcg T3 – which roughly has the same effect as 50 - 62.5 mcg of T4.... I would suggest to cut your Levo by 50 mcg for every 12.5 mg of T3 and see if that stops the sweats. With best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
