Questions about taking Cytomel

February 6, 2006

Thanks Carole for suggesting Dr. Hartig - I really liked her! She

prescribed 5mcg of Cytomel for 2 months (along with my 88mcg of

Levoxyl) and see how I do. I have high hopes since my stomach started

settling down almost immediately. There are a few other symptoms that

I'm wondering if Cytomel is causing though. I have been VERY thirsty,

had an increase in my appetite, decrease in energy (getting worse

every day), not sleeping well, and it seems like a small increase in

heart rate. As most of you know, we have good days along with bad, so

I don't know if some of this is just having a few bad days, or if this

is the T3 getting into my blood. What are the general side effects of

taking Cytomel? Does your body adjust to it and then feel better

after the adjustment? How do you know if you are taking too much T3?

How long does everything take to settle down? Is there a secret to

taking the Cytomel to make the adjustment easier?

Any advice for someone taking Cytomel for the first time would be

greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone,

Diane

Can you send me the contact info for Dr. Hartig as well as her first name and specialty? Does she also prescribe Armour? Have your fasting blood glucose and morning cortisol tested right away. The T3 can cause your blood sugar to go up if you have adrenal insufficiency. In any case, do contact the doctor right away and tell her what is going on with you.

She works with Dr Hansen. They share an office along with a couple of

other doctors. The in house lab is great and doesn't require a separate

appointment.
