Any advice for Coming off a long T3 run

[MrCyp]

Was taking 25mcg every morning for 3months and am coming off now. I'll drop it to 12.5 for maybe 5days but I figure 25mcg is so small it probably cleared my system and let natty t3 occur before I took the next dose but im not sure. I plan to take 1000mcg kelp and an eca stack but any other advice on anything? Will it even be shut down for a while at the dose and time I did?

You might look into HCG.

(seriously)

I havent heard of Shelby's recommendation but I definitely plan on looking into that. At 25 mcg a day I would not think the effects would be noticeable. I have my own curiosity as to how fast on average t-3 level comes back. If there is a supply of t-4, as I would think there will be, when you use an artificial form of t-3, than I think once the body realizes that t-3 is circulating it will come back fairly rapidly. Until then I would think the the storage of t-4 will convert to t-3 in the body.

T-4 is stored for later use by the body. If there is an artificial amount being consumed from a synthetic form of t-3 that meets the body's demands, than it has no reason to use the storage. Once the body senses a lack of t-3 circulation, than it will begin the process of producing once more. This could be after the storage of t4 is used up or during. Thyroid hormone is much more important than testosterone which is why I think the body keeps the thyroid levels in check very strictly (except for cases of hypothyroidism naturally caused or consumption or radioactive iodine).

I think I should maybe go off Gh for 2-3weeks as well and just stick with ghrp6 and GRF1-29 since they cant lower thyroid and GH can. Sound like a good plan or will a low dose(3iu) GH still be ok?

Look into thyroid stimulating compounds like the old triacana.

Go down to 12.5mcg as you mentioned for a week, come off, then add an herbal supplement.
