anyone here using the RecoveringWithT3.com protocol?

If you are on T3+T4 or NDT, using Paul Robinson's protocol to reinforce T3 circadian rhythm during the sleep cycle, I would be interested in knowing what size T3 dose(s) you are taking, at what time(s). I have found that a dose at bedtime, and a dose when I wakeup around 0300, reduces my problem with middle insomnia. But I think the size of my doses may be too high, as I sometimes feel kind of "lit". Does anyone know how much T3 the body makes, during the period of circadian rise occurring between bedtime and 6am?

I am not on T3-only. I use T4=100mcg daily, and take T3 only during the sleep cycle. I already know that T3=12.5mcg daily forces my TSH down to ~0.1, so I expect that I need T3 dose(s) totaling between 7.5mcg and 15mcg, during the sleep cycle. I take a small dose of T3 at bedtime, which extends my sleep time until sometime after 0300, at which point I take another dose to reinforce the 0400 sweet spot.

I'm sorry you haven't, as yet, had a response. This is a previous post which may be of interest. :-

I am using Paul Robinsons’ circadian T3 method and take 12.5 mcg of T3 and 100mcg of T4 at 3am. This has raised my low cortisol am output and 3am ensures maximum absorption of my hormone replacement. It also improved my sleep quality but I don’t take bedtime dose. T3, T4 and cortisol production levels are individual to each person but they usually peak at their highest in the early hours of the morning according to your own circadian cycle if everything is working properly. A healthy person can top these thyroid levels up over the day. Cortisol levels fluctuate on demand too and can peak and trough over 24 hours. Not sure I have answered you question fully but this is my experience and Paul’s method improved my quality of life.

IF you are on Facebook you could ask Paul directly in his Recovering with T3 group or try contacting him through his webpage.
