T3 upped

[Lottyplum]

Hi lovely people. Just had my T3 upped from 5mcgs twice a day to 5mcgs 3x a day. How should I time these T3 now,? Thanks v much.🤔

it’s very much trial and error to see what works best for you Lottyplum. I also take 15mcg Lio daily, but take 10mcg a morning and 5mcg in an afternoon.

I just thought 5mcgs into a twelve hour clock: 7am, 1pm+7pm? Is 7pm too late in the day??

It’s worth trying to see if this regime alleviates any adverse symptoms. Some members take T3 at night to aid sleep- I found it had the opposite effect though!

As I'd seen some ppl found T3 kept them awake so thought I'd better not take it too late! Like you say, it's trial+error!

many members (including myself) find 5mcg at bedtime improves sleep

Try waking, Mid afternoon and early evening initially

Then try moving last dose slowly towards bedtime

Thankyou. Will push my last dose to after 7pm. I do find sleep an issue sometimes! Maybe an age thing! I find a good walk helps, for me anyway! Thanks again for all yr input! Think you+other admins should be awarded for all yr help because it feels like thank isn't enough!🥰
