[AyahuascaSeeker13]

Could someone please let me know what a starting dose is for T3 (Liothyrine Sodium). I have never used it before, so please let me know.

Cheers.

What are you using it for? Burning fat i assume

I would start at 50mcg then work your way up to no more than 150mcg

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

50 a day? or 50 at a time?

Yes, fat loss.

 

[ziggaz]

50mcg in a day, spread them evenly. are you using clen also?

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

Na, no clen. No good for my BP.

FDA Black Box Warning:

Thyroid hormones, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss.

In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic amines such as those used for their anorectic effects.

Be careful, comrade.

^ Hmmmmm that's a first I heard of that! Gee

 

[Mr Blonde]

What were you planning on using it for?

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

Weight loss... LOL

 

[Mr Blonde]

Euthyroid means correct/normal thyroid function by the way. Might want to look into other methods, eh?

What else have you tried?

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

I think I have an underactive thyroid... Just need to get tests.

 

[Mr Blonde]

Definitely get those tests before you start messing around with thyroid hormones.

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

what about this one http://www.personaldiagnostics.co.uk/Products/ThyroScreen/About_Hypothyroidism.html

 

[Mr Blonde]

^ From some quick Google searching, that seems like a decent test kit to get. It's great the tests you can do at home yourself these days.

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

Yeah, I'm gonna buy it. I seriously HATE doctors in my area...

 

[AyahuascaSeeker13]

Or even this one... Pricey... But maybe a good buy?
