Just wondering what the highest dose of T3 someone is taking or has taken? So far I've read the highest someone has taken is 150mcg.

I've never had experience with taking T3 but remember we are all different and react differently to medication so what is right for you may well be different to the next person you speak to. Are you self medicating or do you have professional back up and how are you feeling? More info may well help someone with T3 experience to help you. Also any recent blood tests and readings.

I was taking 120mcg for a few days but didn't feel any better or worse than when I had been taking 60mcg so dropped back. Over medicating with T3 can cause atrial fibrillation and may cause an adrenal crash so it's wise to cautious.
