Common Questions and Answers about Cytomel and nausea

cytomel

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 f tn Usually after 3pm it starts, just general nausea, queasy, and some tightness in the chest, almost like acid reflux, but it is everyday and i feel ok otherwise. And upset stomach is off and on cramps with soft and loose stool.
Avatar f tn What is the daily dose of Cytomel? It may be that since the half life of Cytomel is less than a day, you may already be feeling the effects. I assume you started back on the same dose, right? If so, you should get the effect in a few days.
822804 tn?1298226302 My doctor prescribed cytomel 25mcg and lowered my synthroid to 125mcg...the cytomel is the generic brand,not sure if this will make a difference.How do you take the cytomel?morning,afternoon,evening and do you take it with food?
Avatar n tn Hi Everyone, For several years I have been having some strange symptoms after 20yrs on the same dosage of levothyroxine 0.175mcg. Muscle & joint aches (Fibromyalgia), then TSH is 2.7, 1.5,.7. Last Oct. a nodule on the right side of thyroid, US done, 2cm nodule, solid. Dec. had a partial thyroidectomy with a micropapillary carcinoma. TSH 1.7 after surgery, still doing well and feeling much better on levothyroxine 112 & Cytomel 5 mcg. TSH was .7 and now 6.793.
Avatar f tn I have been off my cytomel since 1/9/08 and I am also on the LID! I have episodes of nausea, dizziness, headaches, joint aches, fatigue and dry skin! I have continued working, but some days I have to come home in the afternoon due to dizziness and nausea along with brain fog! I have good days and then I will just crash for no reason! I will keep you updated on how I feel! Some people do fine and don't feel much of anything.
Avatar f tn t handle the effects. I had a constant headache, dizziness, nausea, heartburn and sweating like crazy. No heart palpitations though. What should I do? I am afraid to continue but will this go away? Should I just stick to it for now? I'm feeling really crappy :-| thanks for reading...
Avatar f tn Yes, I changed the Tirosint and Cytomel at the same time. She lowered the Tirosint in order to increase the Cytomel.
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 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 f tn These vary from lab to lab and must come from your own report. Labs from both, before and after the cytomel, would be great. There is no "normal" amount to be added to a specific amount of levo; as stated above the dosage would be dependent on your FT3/FT4 labs. Most of us are started out on a very small dose and increased as needed. 25 mcg is not a small dose. Did you take the whole 25 mcg cytomel all at once each day?
Avatar n tn I was wondering if anyone out there has ever tried adding in 25 mg of cytomel to level things out. I just received some and was going to add it in but i didn't want to screw things up more than they already are. If anyone has any answers or opinions let me know.
Avatar f tn I wnet off my Cytomel on Saturday and I miss it sooooo mcuh -lol! I feel horiible. Today I have nausea which is making the fatigue worse. is this a normal symtom for going hypo for RAI? I cannot believe how fast I started felling bad after stopping the Cytomel. I start the LID tomorrow. If I continue to feel this way, it shouldn;t be a problem since I will nto feel like eating anyway. Thanks!
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 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 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.
