Taken 20mcg T3 in one dose by mistake! What to do?

Hi,

Stupidly I took my full dose of 20mcg of T3 this morning (plus 75mcg T4) instead of splitting the tablet so I can have 10mcg first thing and 10mcg at 5pm. Do I skip the 5pm 10mcg or take it as normal? I overslept and was a bit groggy, hence the mistake.

I did a quick search on the forum but couldn't find a similar post.

Thanks

Stick to your normal daily dose, so as you've taken it all this morning, don't take any more today, go back to normal tomorrow.

No worries. I take one daily dose and one of TUK's Advisers (an expert in the use of T3) also took his dose (and recommended a once-a-day dose) 150mcg of T3 (always in the middle of the night) and his patients also were advised to take one daily dose.

Thanks everyone, feeling reassured now. Can't say I'm feeling any effects though, was expecting a caffeine style jitters. It's nearly time to take full bloods as I upped my dose before Xmas, maybe more T3 could be in order!

This is a link which might be helpful. The doctor himself took T3 alone (once daily in middle of night).
