cytomel

Avatar n tn I am on 125 mg of synthroid, and I find I really do put on weight still pretty easily. See I am in the bodybuilding/figure world, and compete, so I have to get my weight and bodyfat pretty low. I am a testament that it is possible to do so. However, I do really have to work hard at it. I do have an of season though where my eeight is supposed to go up and i am supposed to put on muscle, but mine skyrockets.
Avatar f tn after all of my reading, I believe at that time I was in metabolic shutdown and that is why my thyroid failed....I did NOT FIGURE THIS OUT at the time and NEITHER DID MY DR and PRESCRIBED 15MCG OF CYTOMEL TWICE A DAY AND .25MCG OF SYNTHROID...I HAVE NOW BEEN ON BOTH FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. Then...a few months ago, I noticed a fat gain again...so I know an unhealthy decision, but I started taking meltdown (fat burner) twice a day and started two a day workouts to try to shed the fat...
Avatar m tn I figured the best way to beat how I was feeling was to stop everything all together, throw out all my supplements and just let my normal hormonal balance get to its right level and that supplementing was stupid idea as the risks and side effects where allot higher. I stopped middle of last year thinking that my severe depression and anxiety/ would disappear.
Avatar m tn We went to the bathroom stall and he proceeded to inject me, he pulled back and realized he hit a vein so pulled out and was going to retry. At this point i realized roids is not a good idea and i told him i was gonna pass. Did i get aids?
Avatar n tn I compete in figure bodybuilding and reqularly take creatine, glutamine, whey protein powder, and BCAAs. What effect will synthroid meds have on these supplements and should I continue using them?

1070570 tn?1283436213 I was up to 125 mcg synthroid, then dropped back to 75 synthroid, then switched to 75 generic levo and added 10 mcg cytomel. That was too much cytomel, so dropped back to 5 mcg cytomel and switched to generic; then up to 88 mcg levo, staying with 5 mcg generic cytomel. Am currently on 100 mcg Tirosint and 5 mcg generic cytomel. I take the Tirosint first thing in the morning, per instructions (my day starts 3:30 am). I take my T3 med about 7-7:30 am.
Avatar n tn for bodybuilding i m taking high protien and low carb diet , and testosterone and growth harmone .
Avatar f tn Free T3 levels must be checked regularly, along with TSH and Free T4, when taking cytomel. Cytomel is usually not recommended unless you have a conversion problem or for some other reason, your Free T3 is out of line. In addition, you should constantly be aware of any symptoms that might indicate that you are taking too much. Oldie - I, too, have heard that cytomel should not be used by persons with heart issues.

Avatar m tn The exercise part of bodybuilding is good for your liver, but you might want to think twice about doing a protein-heavy bodybuilder's diet. Too much protein can stress your liver. You might want to talk to a doctor about what is the appropriate amount of protein intake.
1070570 tn?1283436213 t taking any synthroid I was on 50mcg cytomel, but i started to have hyper feelings so he halfed my cytomel dose to 25mcg and added 25 mcg synthroid and I haven't felt good since. But I will mention an increase of synthroid to my doc to see if that helps. I have noticed from reading old posts on here that most people aren't taking over 10 mg of cytomel. I am on 35 mcg at the moment. Has anyone ever been treated solely on T3 and had success? what dosage?
793305 tn?1493925518 I currently take 5 mcg of Cytomel and .88 mg of Levoxyl. After doing research I sought out a Dr. in my community that prescribed Cytomel. That little bit does make a difference for me. I have never felt like I did before Hashimoto's in many respects, but I personally feel that Cytomel helped my energy level much more than the traditional sole replacement therapy!
458072 tn?1291415186 Cytomel is a T3 - the only way this would benefit you would be if your T3 is low and need to get that level up. Low T3 could cause anxiety but you need to know your thyroid blood panel to really see if you need it. Cytomel is not really a med to control anxiety. Xanax is the most given or a generic.
332168 tn?1201026915 I had a TT in Sept. and RAI in Nov. During the time between the TT and RAI, I took only Cytomel and did fine on it. Currently I take 137 of Levothyroxine and 25 mcg of Cytomel. I was taking a half tablet in the morning and once in the early afternoon, but I couldn't manage to remember to take the afternoon dose in a timely fashion, and sometimes was kept up at night.
Avatar n tn Dx Central Hypothroidism and Hashimoto Taking synthroid 125 Endo added cytomel 10mcg due to low ft3 and persistent hypo symptoms.Feeling terrible and even worse with added titre (cytomel) 10mcg. Rang Endo and told me to stop with cytomel. Is that possible that such a low dose could make me feel awful...double vison, sense of nausea, some palpitations...to add to my already hypo symptoms...plus ft3 and ft4 have not risen even a tiny bit. I'm really confused at this point.
Avatar n tn T3 (cytomel) is weirdly used in the bodybuilding world..as well as hollywood,to lose weight,the normal being up to 75-100mcgs a day..and they taper down...slowy so thyroid goes back to normal,I have seen many people need meds ,from doing this...
Avatar f tn I have a slightly underperforming thyroid and was put on synthroid which made me nauseous, even when the dosage was lowered. So I have now been put on 25mcg of cytomel and am having real trouble falling asleep. My doctor told me to half the dosage but I still cannot sleep and am now taking sleeping pills as well. I usually take the cytomel in the morning and I read somewhere that it can help to take it at night, which doesn't make sense to me.
Avatar n tn I am on synthroid 100 and just started cytomel 3 days ago, I am on 10 a day 75 seems a bit much. I am only taking cytomel because I am not getting enough T3.
Avatar n tn Perhaps I got it wrong. But my daughter's on the cytomel and the question remains the same.
Avatar n tn I am taking 2.5 mcg cytomel and 8 drops of Lugols solution for treatment of thyroid nodules. I have more energy, sleep better, but am having regular frontal headaches and my eye ache and itch. It's hard to know if I am taking too much or too little, since the symptoms can be the same! Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn The three important factors in controlling and managing a type 2 diabetic lifestyle are proper nutrition, proper weight and daily physical exercise. One does not reduce their diet, per se, instead makes lifestyle changes so what they should be eating counts. Use Google to research, understand and apply the Glycemic Index to your lifestyle. Use Google search on 'diabetic bodybuilding' for other suggestions.
Avatar m tn In the last year I went to the endo, who given how I was feeling gave me 1.12 of synthroid and the smallest dose of cytomel, and I am on seasonique. I had only been through one pack of the seasonique at this time with no bleeding/spotting. Once I started the cytomel, the spotting started again. The endo told me I should try a half dose of the cytomel. That made no difference. Now she told me to quit the cytomel and see if that helps. Now I am getting a light period.....
1129774 tn?1279831762 30 and eat breakfast at 7:00. I talked to the pharmacist and she said I can take the cytomel whenever. With breakfast I take all my vitamins Multi, calicum, mag,. probiotic, vit. d, and cranberry. Can I take both at 5:30 in the morning? Or should I wait until after breakfast. I decided to only start with one a day and see how I do. I am afraid of getting to much. Thanks.
Avatar n tn Just started the Cytomel and synthroid three days ago. This morning I had few red spots on my chest. It could be nothing but has anyone had a skin rash with cytomel before? The insert says it is RARE but how rare? When should I worry? It's hardly anything.
Avatar m tn You know, I suggested this as a joke, but I now believe you really are getting paid to advertise websites and You Tube. Good to see you working again!
