Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 >>I take 100 mcg. of Cytomel with 5 grains of Armour. I was concerned because I was up to 9 grains and kept needing more Armour. Cytomel balances me, I must need more T3?<< At last! I am NOT alone! LOL I am at 6 grains Armour and recently upped to 75MCg Cytomel. So far it is working better than the 7 grains Armour & 38.5 mcg Cytomel I was on. I may even try your formula if this doesn't seem quite right. But I am not able to take all mine at once, in fact it seems to work best for me at 4 times a day starting with the highest dosage and tapering it through the day to my last dosage of 1 grain Armour at bedtime. Have you tried a pill splitter? I have one for my cat's pills so I can put them in tiny pieces in his treats... *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 A pill splitter is a good idea, thanks. I am very sensitive to sleeplessness, so taking my armour and cytomel in the am works, as I get the most energy in the am and go down as the day goes on. By 8 or 9 pm I am done. I take my supplements (about 30) in the afternoon and that gives me more energy. All the recommended, plus omega 3 oils, coconut oil capsules (4) and herbal energy w/o green tea. > >>I take 100 mcg. of Cytomel with 5 grains of Armour.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 >>What is Cytomel and why do you take it with Armour?<< Cytomel contains ONE of the thyroid hormones that is in Armour as well. Some folks need MORE of certain kinds of the thyroid hormones. Cytomel is pure T3, the most active hormone. I am one that can't convert T4 to T3 at all, so I need alot of T3 to keep me running properly, so I have to take direct T3 as well as Armour to get enough of it. Most people either need no extra T3 or some may even need additional T4, but it is rare to need as much T3 as I have to take, that was why I was surprised to find another on the list that takes it like I do!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Cytomel is synthetic T-3, and I added it because I was finding myself needing more and more armour to stabilize. I just found out that myrxforless is no longer. I guess I will continue to look. > > >>I take 100 mcg. of Cytomel with 5 grains of Armour.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Thanks for the info! I don't know if my endo will prescribe any to me or not but I see you can get it without a prescription at some Mexican pharmacies. This is all very new to me so I hope everyone will be patient with me! lol Tressie Re: Having a hard time .........gagging from armour Cytomel is synthetic T-3, and I added it because I was finding myself needing more and more armour to stabilize.
