hypertension - too much NDT or licorice root?
This is the information I found on Tired Thyroid: [i]If you are taking T3 in any form (desiccated thyroid or liothyronine like
Cytomel
), and your systolic BP is over 140 mm Hg while your diastolic number is less than 90 mm Hg, you may need to adjust/reduce your dose.

Very Low TSH but higher T4 + how to add in T3:
Now I'm wondering if I'm some freak that needs some insane amount as the only time I felt well was a) on
Cytomel
only right afte my TT (possibly due to still having natural hormones in my body) b) when switching to NDT from T4 for the first week (also possibly due to the high mix of T4 with the surge

0.01 TSH, 0.7 Free T4, 4.5 Free T3 HELP!!!! I feel horrible!
My previous labs were TSH 0.01, Free T4 0.9, Free T3 3.4 My GP just raised my thyroxine to 150 and
cytomel
to 50! I have symptoms of hypo, not hyper but I am sooo exhausted and short of breath, can't fight infections, lump in throat, insane inflammation, on and on. My kids feel the same way.

Hair Loss, should I add t3?
T4 - 1.27 (0.82-1.77) Reverse T3 - 18.1 (9.2-24.1) TSH - (1.270 - (0.450-4.500) Dr. suggested adding
cytomel
. I am concerned if it helps with hair loss/regrowth or if it may cause additional hair loss. If anyone has any insights or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Getting My FT3 back up again and what about RT3?
So now I am at 65 mg NatureThroid and today started adding 10mcg
Cytomel
with plans to increase it, if needed) after Jan 9 labs are drawn because in the past I felt best when T3 was high. Any suggestions for me? Is the RT3 causing weight issues? Is it possible I might do best on T3 only?

Meds Decreased yet labs are doing the opposite:
I was started on 150 Leoxyl and have tried Tirosint, Naturthroid,
Cytomel
, and now I've been on Synthroid.

switched to armour
So I was taking 5 mcg of
cytomel
a day and alternating 50/75 mcg of synthroid daily until last week. A week ago i went on 1 grain of armour (60mcg) and i am starting to feel a little more tired. I was told the 1 grain of armour would be sufficient but i don't believe so.

switching to armour thyroid
Cytomel
had gluten i found out and since i am 80% gluten and i am totally dairy and soy free.... it was being counter productive feeding myself gluten daily in the form of a pill. We shall see. I take 50/75 alternating synthroid and 5 mcg
cytomel
daily. She prescribed 60 of armour.

so as i posted just yesterday or the day before about new dilemma, i received my copy of test results.
I do not think i need to stop
cytomel
. I do not have symptoms and dr wants me to stop it. my T4 looks low but if i add synthroid which dr won't anyway, my TSH will drop even lower and then i really will be hyper. What do you all advise?

Advice please
I either try to ask dr for 75 synthroid daily instead of alternating 50/75 every other day or i ask for 2 pills of
cytomel
a day to take one in the afternoon. What do you all think? And if i did the 2nd pill of
cytomel
a day do i need to reduce the synthroid?

Still feeling awful
How can I self medicate with
Cytomel
starting at 5mcg? Also: does low carb mess up your T3 that bad? I've never experienced weight problems in my life until after a few months on a zero carb diet.
