Don't understand question. How is reducing the dose different from, er, reducing the dose? T3 doesn't really last long in the body, so you just reduce the dose if you need to. You should only reduce by 1/4 tablet at a time and wait at least a week, pref longer before changing dose again.

Not what you're looking for?
