starting cytomel for the first time.12.5mcg start

[Guest guest]

my doc has started me on half a 12mcg of t3. Been on it for 3 days. I

have been shivering on a night time. energy levsl the same. No change

there. he has asked me to take 12.5mcg of of T3 every morning for one

week then increase to 25cg. I am experiencing cold shivers on a night.

Could this be beacuase the starting dose is too low or is it because

ive come off armour.

I do feel more energy in the morning and visa versa. Although i am

expereincing less tolerant of my computer screeen. Cannot sit on it

even for a few minutes. brings on intense pain in between my brow.

knocks my sleep out and generally drains me.

Anybody had similiar symptoms of cold shivers whilst starting cytomel.

Is my starting dose too low. I am tempted to add an extra 12.5mcg at

lunch to even it out.
