In your experience the difference of effects between Unipharma T3 and Cynomel/Cytomel? And between Cynomel/Cytomel?

[cc120]

As unipharma T3 is so difficult to acquire I was thinking of trying Cynomel or Cytomel and wondered of others experiences of these compared to Unipharma T3?

Also, what is your experience of Cynomel compared to Cytomel?

Worrying message from HU member stating that the Mexican supplier hasn't replied to his purchase of Cynomel. Has anyone experienced any problems from this supplier?

[Marz]

I have changed to Tiromel from UniPharma and not feeling so good. Then again it could be the weather and I need to increase my dose ..

[cc120 in reply to Marz]

Thank you Marz, yes there are so many variables that can affect the results.

I've noticed no difference when going from cynomel to unipharma and back to cynomel.

The ordering from Mexico has changed but I don't think you'll have a problem. I'll pm you.

Thank you Heloise. How much is 100 x 25mcg Cynomel inc shipping to UK from the Mexican supplier?

[Heloise in reply to cc120]

cc, I don't know since I'm in the U.S. It was about $10 per bottle for me. For 300 count 25 mcgs/ was $141 U.S.

[cc120 in reply to Heloise]

Thank you. I've seen now that for 300 x 25mcg Cynomel it's

£80.74 plus £26 for shipping to UK. 20% off for bitcoin payment.

I was sent discount codes for 10% previous months but not Nov or Dec. I have emailed Rodrigo asking if a discount code is available, if so this would take the total down to: £82.

[Heloise in reply to cc120]

I was tempted but don't know much about bitcoin. If you can get it at that price, fantastic. Very good!

Do you know if people who order from the UK get slammed with customs, taxes etc? That is another factor to consider when buying from Mexico. Along with the potential customs delay regarding delivery. Presumably it is legal to buy and send to us in UK.

[cc120 in reply to Clara4741]

They don't as they send in plain envelope.

[Amy1980 in reply to cc120]

I think you may have put your question on the wrong forum, this forum is for thyroid patients, nothing to do with dialysis.

Dear 120cc,

I live in Thailand where there is no liothyronine of any brand. Lots of 25ug online, Cynomel & Tiromel. Far cheaper than Pfizer's branded Cytomel. Before shipping Cynomel is now $35/100 & Tiromel $12/100.

The trouble I'm having is I can only find one US supplier for 5ug Unipharma.

Many sellers have proved to be dead ends. I was hopeful about India as there are more than 30 manufacturers. However, it appears this T3 is solely sold for export. Personal inquiries through friends & dozens of emails.

Once you figure out your dosages & timings, you may find it easier to use a compounding pharmacy which will make you up custom capsules (with a prescription).

I have written an extensive paper on the availablility of liothyronine worldwide. Please write to me if you wish a copy. It might prove helpful: cjATtuDOTacDOTth.

I have discovered that T3 requires A LOT of self-experimentation to feel right. This means enlisting a cooperative doc.

You may find your symptoms due to hypocortisolism. Cortisol may be raised with tricky glucosteroids such as hydrocortisone & fludro, or Adrenal Cortex Extract (not for vegetarians!). The safest method is CT3M circadian dosing of T3. Takes some time to figure out.
