Re: Dr. Hartig ?? For diane

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane

What was the HORRIBLE experience you had with the Cytomel? I have only been on it 4 days and don’t notice any bad effects... Would be interested in knowing how it affected you.

Thanks,

Sue

When you took yourself off, did you have a replacement or just stopped it?

I saw her last month and she prescribed Cytomel for me after I asked for it. I had a HORRIBLE experience with taking the new med, so I took myself off of it. I only saw her once, but I really liked her personality and she seemed open minded. I have put off seeing her again because prior to seeing her, I was already waiting on an appointment to see a new endo that I just saw last week. So I am going to see where this new endo takes things before I decide whether to go back to Dr. Hartig.

My guess is that she would look at other hormones if that's what you are concerned with... Good luck and let me know what you think!

My guess is that my T4 CRASHED! I was so tired I couldn't get off the couch, I couldn't think straight, I was cold, I got constipated, gained a little weight... Along with all of that, I got a "ramped up" feeling (and then didn't have enough energy to move around). It was a weird combination of jittery with absolutely NO energy. I started noticing the jittery feeling within 24 hours, but the tiredness didn't hit me for 2 days. I knew within 3 days that something wasn't right. I just stopped the med and didn't take anything else new. I was already taking 88mcg of Levoxyl, so I kept taking that. It doesn't sound like you are having the same experience that I did. Let me know how things are going. Are you feeling a little better? Dianejytdtp wrote: Hi DianeWhat was the HORRIBLE experience you had with the Cytomel?

HI Dianne.

I feel about the same since starting the T3 cytomel. I do feel a LITTLE tiny bit “jittery” but I also just had some major dental work which normally puts me in a “tizzy” the week before so I guess bad timing on my part to start a new med! I am hoping to see how I do this next week or two now that that one main stressor is behind me... Will keep you posted.

Sounds like you did have a bad reaction to the T3 0 so you are just on the Levoxyl 88 mcg now right? I do 100 mcg of that and just 5 mcg of the Cytomel and will work my way up to the 10 mcg my doc prescribed.
