Cytomel

[babyhulk066]

is there a reason to not take Cytomel for 8 to 10 weeks? from 25-75mcg

Anything over 25MCG is going to shutdown the TSH(thyroid).


That said, When you take Thyroid hormones you put Stress on your Adrenals.

The adrenals produce Cortisol,cortisol is produce so the thyroid hormones can bind to the receptor.

You could overstress your Adrenals,which could lead to adrenal Fatigue(low cortisol)

Thats the only negative thing i can think of.

I think 25MCG is REALLY safe for long term use,split in 2 dosage 12.5mcg 2 times per day

I think you work up to 75 mcgs and run it for 4 weeks , then taper back down, that would be the safest way to do it to avoid side effects, although I know a guy that ran 50 mgs for 6 months, and then got off with no major problems. I particularly hate the way T3 makes me feel, so I stay away from it. Everybody reacts a little different to T3. God bless you bro

25 mcg of T3 will absolutely do nothing for you. I find the sweet spot at around 50 mcg. i have personally run 50 mcg for 20 weeks with NO issues at all.

I am lucky that I have NO sides from Cytomel. I do know that if I got up to 100 mcg a day, I seem to look flatter.

I ran it for about 6 months, got blood work done and my thyroid was normal. That said, I've always run it relatively low - 25mcg.

Based on my own experience, I would disagree that 25mcg will "do nothing for you". We are all different. 25mcg, for me at least, keeps me from gaining fat if I'm eating more. If I'm dieting, it keeps Thyroid hormone constant for the whole diet, rather than crashing off.

Thats because you need to eat more Carbs.

People who have Good Thyroid Health(Low TSH(1.0), High Free T3,High Free t4) Can Eat a shitload of Carbs without getting Fat.Its the type of people that are always skinny ripped.

The more thyroid hormones you take, The more Carbs you NEED to Eat.

 

[aphextwin]

I always eat carbs.

Brand new girl on the board

I am brand new to the board, but have a lot of

skills I think I can offer help. I

currently word part-time for **broken link removed**. I am a commission only agent, but have 4 years of experience in the

auto insuance community and also use to sell ltc insurance as

well. I think that anytime you join a new forum like this that you let people know a little

bit about you so that they can get to know you. I really am looking forward to being part of this

community and reading everything I can from the members around here. I am also

going to recommend this board to a couple of my friends who spend a lot of of their time of

others forums that are not near as activate as this one. Suprisingly we had never heard of this board until I did a

Google search and found it. I am part of
**broken link removed** and spend a lot of time helping people in real

life so I figured online communities would be great too. Anyway you will be hearing a lot more of

me around the forum now since I finally signed up.

^^^ are you going to jack someone else's thread too so you can sell insurance? what a scumbag, I'm an agent too but I don't pull that crap! go introduce yourself in your own thread in the beginners forum

I hear a lot of people saying to stay under 100mcg as it tends to make them feel like garbage, I agree

Honestly I get this is some sort of SEO plan put together by a shady company to get link backs. I doubt the person themselves does these. Anyway, that is so off topic.

It always kills me when a Commission-Only person, whose livelyhood depends on relationship building, conducts their first official act by pissing everyone off!
