Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I don't have the answer. However as one who read his books, belonged to his support group and tried two cycles of the SRT3, I do remember him telling you to keep some T4 on hand to balance things out if you got hyper symptoms. Can't find the books so I can't read and see what his explanation was. I don't believe in WS anymore anyways. Hugs, Carol B > > 1.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Ran out of meds and money. ) Thankfully I still had some of the lower dose from before it was raised, so I used that to wean myself off, rather than doing cold turkey. I went to lower dose, then less doses...until I ran out. Ella > So tell us again Ella, why you stopped the SRT3? Hugs, Carol B > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
