Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 You will still have some of your OWN T4 inyour system thta the T3 must firts lower, then it has rto weaken the RT3 that is bound to your cell's receptors. this all takes TIME I woudl lower to no more than 100mcg and just hold there for a whiel. 6-8 weeks oyu should start to fel a differnce. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Wait....did I just read that someone STARTED on 200mcg of T3 and didn't ramp up or am I missing something. Personally, I think that is insane. I know of someone who was put on 100 to start and she had a heart attack. I'm not trying to scare you...or maybe I am....but 200 to start, really???????????????? Also, is this with proper adrenal testing or support???I must be missing something in this thread because something isn't right here. > >I was on nothing before- I don't even have hypothyroidism.
