Splitting T3 doses

[hose1975]

I currently take 22.5mcg T3 (10mcg & 12.5mgc) , all in one dose in the morning. If I wanted to split it out, could I take the larger dose in the morning and the smaller twelve hours later for a better profile?

I'm not mad keen on taking it partway through the day, when I'm at work.

Thanks!

You can try but it may keep you awake if a large dose is taken late in the day. Best if first dose is largest, to start with anyway

300mg Quetiapine pretty much puts paid to sleeplessness these days 😉

You'd really have to experiment and find what's best for you. You can take it any time you like, as long as it's away from food and other supplements/medication. And, taking a large dose late in the day won't necessarily stop you sleeping. I used to take 75 mcg just before bed, and slept like a log. It might even find you're better taking it all at once, and not splitting. It's all trial and error.

I agree, it can keep you awake, or knock you out! And it is very much trial and error.

Or help good, natural sleep.

Many of us find taking T3 at bedtime improves sleep.

As greygoose says, it's trial and error what works for each of us
