Yes, go for it. A quarter of a grain is a starter dose to get you used to the T3 in NDT, and as you’ve been on that dose for 5 weeks it’s certainly time for a raise.

Well done for going carefully—slow and steady is definitely the way. Take half a grain a day for a week or two before considering whether you need more (I’d say you probably will in due course but it’s always best to let your body get used to it).

HelloAs JazzW says ‘go for it’. 1/4 grain is a low dose, so increase by 1/4 grain and see how you feel.

slowly does it 😊
