I recently started supplementing T3/T4 with my GH, as I was suffering from low energy. I have been on GH for a little over 3 months now + MK-677 and the low energy has not subsided the way I thought it would. Last week I began supplementing Novothyral which is 100mcg T4 + 25mcg T3. Within a WEEK my energy levels feel much better. I am worried about one thing though - hair loss. Do you think this much T3/T4 could be cause for alarm of hyperthyroid symptoms and thus potential hair loss? I just had a hair transplant which is why I am cautious about what I'm using. The GH was part of a program to regrow hair, it has helped with some of my grays and my hair coming back now feels somewhat thicker. I just don't want to over do it on the thyroid meds and end up losing hair elsewhere. Users of T3/T4 on GH, what do you think? In the last week my scalp has also started getting itchy, with some dandruff. Haven't been able to pinpoint the issue.
I know T4 has a 7-10 day half life. If I decide to get bloods to check out my TSH levels, how long should I wait to do bloods to get the highest "active" concentration from the T4?
