Re: I will start Cynomel today. What should be my starting dose

[Guest guest]

Alayna,

Here's an old quote of Val's that should answer your question:

" The switch from Armoru is easy. JUSt stop it one day and thenext you

strt with JUST the amount of T3 that was in your old Armoru dose. DSo if

on 3 grains that woudl be 3 X 9mcg or 27mcg would be th starting dose,

then you raise the T3 every 5-7 days by symtopkis. As the T4 leaves oyur

body you will feel a bti more hypo and theyn raise ythe T3 by 5-12.5mcg

depending on the size of your pills and your adrneal tolerance. Usually

i liek to see peoe on abotu 75mcg by the 6-8 week mark, thne you cna use

pulse and temps to optimize it. "

Thanks Rainbow. But when do I take it? Same as Nature-throid? Can I take this

all at once? Do I need to try to cut the pill smaller and take it more than

once per day? So for me it would be 1/2 of my 25mg. pill. So I would take the

12.5mg. for 5-7 days and then add another 12.5? How far apart should the dosing

be?

Thanks for your help. Alayna

T3-only meds need to be taken more often than NT. 3-4 doses spread out over the

day is what I've heard recommended. Personally, I can't sleep if I take a dose

at bedtime, so I take 3 doses (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Feel free to

experiment to see if a bedtime dose works for you though.

The Cynomel pills are relatively soft, so you can break them in half with your

fingers, and then into quarters with your fingernails. Since you're starting on

such a low dose, and you can't break them smaller than quarters, I'd probably

take one quarter at breakfast and the second at dinner. Then when you start

increasing, you can add a dose at lunch and possibly bedtime.

Some people can increase by 12.5mcg at a time, but my body couldn't handle that.

I had to increase by 6.25mcg (a quarter pill) at a time. Keep a close eye on

your pulse, temps and symptoms to see what will work for you.

And, as always, we're here to help

Do you take the T3 with food or without? Sounds like with if it's with

breakfast and lunch. Also, can you take it along with your HC? I think Val

said taking HC and Nature-throid were fine together.

Just want to get everything squared away.

Thanks for being there guys!

Food does not seem to interfere with T3 absorbtion as it does with NT so

with or withgout food is fine, you can also take ti with or wihtout HC.
