Those of you who take T3 at night

[lisan1]

How do you split your dose if T3 if you take it just before bed?

[Jaydee1507 Administrator]

I take 15mcgs total of T3, so 5mcgs on waking, 5mcgs late afternoon, 5 mcgs bed time.

I'm currently taking 20mcg would you take the 10 in the evening and 5 morning and afternoon or 10morning?

I do same as Jaydee1507 . 5mcg at 6.20am (then go back to sleep for an hour), 5mcg mid afternoon and 5mcg at bedtime

And split levothyroxine as well …..half dose levothyroxine alongside T3 waking and half dose alongside T3 at bedtime

How do you split before blood test? Do you still take half levo at night?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to lisan1]

Day before test

I take bedtime T3 earlier at 9pm

And delay bedtime dose levothyroxine until after blood test

I'm currently taking 20mcg would you take the 10 in the evening and 5 morning and afternoon or 10morning? Or better split in 4 of 5 each?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to lisan1]

When I was previously on 20mcg I use to take 10mcg in morning, 5mcg mid afternoon and 5mcg at bedtime

But now, if I was going to go back on 20mcg ….I would consider trying 4 doses of 5mcg …..

[lisan1 in reply to SlowDragon]

How would you distribute 4 doses?

[DippyDame]

I don't ....I take the full dose(125mcg) at bedtime!

But I do have Thyroid Hormone Resistance

We are all different

We have to dose which way suits us best....it's trial and error.

What suits A won't necessarily suit B.... but use other's experience as guidance!
