T3 and calcium supplements?

[Tussa]

Added T3 two weeks ago and now I’m increasing my cytomel ( T3) from 1x0,25 mg to 2x0,25. The question is when to take the second dose with all my supplements. Have hypocalcemia since my TT 6 years ago so I have to take it. Here is my schedule:

6 am- levithyroxine 100/75 mcg + 0,25 cytomel

10 am magnesium

1 pm calcium

4 pm calcium

7 pm zinc

10 pm magnesium

Thanks for the reply but when can I squeeze in my second 2,5 mcg cytomel?

About the calcium: Actually my functional medicine therapist told me to take magnesium and calcium at the same time and both my calcium and magnesium levels were totally depleted- of course! I did my own research and after splitting the two of them my levels are back to normal.

My dr said it’s better to take split doses. But I don’t know why? I feel that I don’t trust her completely. When I asked her how to fit in the second dose t3 with all the supplements she didn’t think it was going to be a problem and she had never heard about not combining calcium and magnesium ...

Would you mind sharing what dose of T3 you take? Do you not notice your energy waning as the day goes on?

It’s only 2,5 mcg so far. I just started two weeks ago. The plan is to add another 2,5 mcg now. No, I don’t feel my energy waning as the day goes on. In fact a I feel energetic until around 9 pm as always. I didn’t experience any hypo symptoms before adding t3 either. I just want my tsh to go back to normal ( it’s high) and my t3 to be higher. I seem to be a very bad converter with T3 : 3,2 ( 3,1-6,8) .

I forgot: I also take Levo 100 x 5 and 75x2 but when adding another 2,5 t3 I will reduce the levo. Not sure with how much yet though.
