Hello everyone! From 9 weeks I take only T3 - now 125 mcg (suspect problem with RT3 or resistance): 4am 25mcg, 9am 37.5mcg, 14 25mcg, 18 37.5mcg. I have a little more energy, but my temperature is very variable, pulse is 50-54, BP 80/50 - 90/60 and my weight gained (2 kg in a month) - wtf? I tried lower dose (I picked up gradually), but nothing happened.
I take iron, B complex, C, D3+K2mk7, zinc, selenium and more

I know, that my dose is high... Usually I was going up 6.25 every 3 to 5 days (thyroidrt3.com/dosing.htm) and didn't see improvement.
At the start of treatment I was taking only T4, but I
felt terribly (depression, swelling and low ft3), later - Thiroyd - at the beginning was great! (blood test, my feeling) but later (I had a lot of stress - Rt3?!) I stopped responding to medication (I picked up Thiroyd to 4.5 grain, but I didn't feel better). I decided take only T3. In Poland doctors don't treat patients by T3, so I am treated alone.
Magdas, that link doesn't work but increasing by 6.25mcg every 3-5 days is too fast as it doesn't give you sufficient time to absorb and metabolise the T3. This link discusses increasing NDT but the principle applies for T4 and T3 too.
