After splitting my dose of T3

[susie59]

and getting trembles after some hours, I found I am much better taking my whole 25mcg at once about an hour after my Levo, and that seems to last me all day,

I wondered if anyone else had noticed the same?

Yes, I had far fewer ups and downs but I did feel like I absorbed it better which then made me a bit wired.

the only thing is, I hope I am taking enough, I suppose I would get shaky or tired etc if not, but so far, so good.

Dr Lowe said (and also if patient used NDT):-

And finally, why do I specify that the typical patient use one full dose of non-timed-release Cytomel for life? Because extensive testing has shown that this is safe, effective, and most economical—when used within the context of our entire protocol.

Thanks for that link shaws, I think it did take a couple of weeks to get used to T3, but its so much smoother now, no ups and downs at all,

When he says 'the entire protocol' what does this mean? Thanks

As it is an archived site some links are not accessible. I assume his protocol includes a link re the supplements he advised and also exercise to tolerance. The link for self-care is not accessible. The link for supplements works:-

His patients took their full dose of T3 or NDT once a day.

Yes, I take T4 and T3 together at bed time and it does me throughout the day (all things being equal).

Thank you for raising this subject. I have been having such problems with T3 that my taking of it has become quite chaotic. This gives me a new protocol to try. Many thanks.
