t3

[susiebow]

Hi ,day 6 off t3 10 mcg and thyroxine 50mcg (reduced from 100mcg).Feel a bit odd hypo or hyper after 4 hours,but how can that be as now taking equivalant of 90 mcg of thyroxine less than I was taking before.So scared it is not going to help.

Susie, you will feel a 'peak' in heart rate and pulse an hour or so after taking T3 but it should pass within an hour or so. Are you splitting the dose in two or taking it in one dose?

[susiebow in reply to Clutter]

I was told by Endo to take it all in one dose.

[Clutter in reply to susiebow]

Susie, try splitting the dose 4/6 hours apart and see if it feels better. You can always go back to once a day dosing if it doesn't help.

In my opinion you should have stayed on 10 mcg of T3 together with 90 mcg of T4 for a week. It takes some 6-7 days for the new dose of t4 to work. So I think during that time you were on 50 mcg of T4 only. Now we cannot turn back time but I hope it will start to work for you.

Hi Akimbohr,Iwas on 100mcg of thyroxine alone before Endo said to go to 50 mcg thyroxine and 10 mcg t3.Thanks for support
