Nick : I think I may have figured out my problem with T3-dosing increases. Help?

[Guest guest]

Hi Nick,

After days of frighteningly surreal fatigue, I was a rebel today. I increased my

Cytomel from 10 mcg to 15 mcg on my first a.m. dose - after just two days. Felt

so much better that I decided to test it at my 2nd dose, increased from 10 mcg

to 15 mcg. Felt great still. No hyper symptoms at all. So... did the same thing

on my third dose - 10 mcg to 15 mcg. Still felt great. No hyper symptoms. Could

my awful symptoms be that I was just WAY too low on T3 and needed this large of

a bump?

Looking back at the dosing page on your site, I realized that it appears each

increase is supposed to be double the existing dosage. Is that correct?

If so, then it's 1/2 tablet, 1/2 tablet, 1 whole tablet... then 2 tablets?

I'm using 5 mcg tablets. Can you help me figure this out?

A reminder - on my last labs my T4 was dropping but my TSH had gone from 0.0006

to 1.22, which I assume is an indication that I'm needing more T3.

Thanks for your help, Nick!
