cytomel
There really aren't very many specialists in the area of dysautonomia, I'm afraid.
I was told P.O.T.S. could be hereditary and later learned I have a second cousin who has been diagnosed with the same thing. I've not had any official testing to determine the underlying cause of my autonomic dysfunction. I was diagnosed with P.O.T.S. back in 2004.
Does anyone know what the starch in Cytomel is made from? I called Pfizer but no one has called me back yet. I'm sensitive to corn and am trying to find out if it's corn starch.
Hi! I'm sorry I'm 8 years late on this post. I'm a sufferer of Hashimotos but how it's been successfully treated has been very different, so I think I can offer you and anyone who visits this page some insight. My worst TSH levels was Dec 2021 at 27, 11 months after recovering from COVID. This was the beginning to finding more answers.
I am not sure I am on the right thread. Have not been on this site for a while. My girlfriend's had greave's disease and went through RAI about 8 years ago. She been stable on Armour and Cytomel and 50mg Zoloft. But recently about 4 months ago, she have been very aggressive and breaking stuff and slamming doors. She gets stress out so quick too. I am thinking she might happen to be too high on her meds. She is taking 75mg Armour and 5 mg cytomel.
aline123,
I do know of studies where Cytomel has been an adjunct treatment to depression.
Actually, a Psychiatrist will prescribe VERY HIGH doses (it if treats the depression).
Here's one Study.

FYI--What I did to find an ENDO that prescribes Cytomel, is asked a Pharmacist.
2 percent of range)
Reverse T3 27 (11-32)
Thyroid Antibodies (ATA, TPO) NONE
(AFTER these labs were drawn, I started on 5 mcg Cytomel. I know some people will mention NDT, but when I tried it I did not react well so I am sticking with synthetics for now. Thanks!
I am a VEGAN and use no animal products. The Armour site stated that their meds are made from pigs. As I am a VEGAN, this is not an option for me.
He wanted me to be on the T3 sustained release instead of the cytomel, though. If I go back to the cytomel along with some sustained release T3, it will actually be slightly less T3 than I am on now, but it will be mostly immediate release rather than sustained release, if that makes sense. I seem to need way more of the sustained type than I did with the cytomel. I'm not sure why...
Do you think combining a sustained release med with an immediate release med is a bad thing?
Hello people, I just ordered my Cytomel (T3/Thryoid Meds) from Mexico, it's called Tryiotex and people in the net says it's a slow released meds.. the dosage are 75mcg for a pill.. how should i take them? what's sustained release means? will it be ok to take the dosage first thing in the a.m on an empty stomach? or should i split the dosage for 2 times a day? (remember - that's a slow/sustained release pills.. different from other brands out there..
hi. i'm no longer living in the STates so i don't have a US doctor to prescribe me Cytomel. i'm scared of ordering from sites that don't ask for a prescription because i don't want to get junk. Can anyone recommend an online site that i'll know i'm getting a brand name fda approved drug? thanks!
Im sorry! I didn't see your answer anywhere. New to the site and trying to figure it out. Didn't mean to irritate you gimel.
I have been taking Synthroid Cytomel combo for a few weeks after switching from Synthroid alone and I do feel better. My hair is still falling out, but I am guessing from Cytomel. I am not as cold as I used to be. I do have more energy it seems and a little less brain fog, but not 100%. Of course the constipation is still there and may always be sadly. Still have swallowing issues, dry hair, dry skin, etc..My muscles are sore which is new, maybe Cytomel?
That's the first time *EVER*..I've heard someone say a Doctor told them to take T-3 "in the evening"---
T-3 is like taking a Stimulant (by design, it speeds up your Thyroid)--it's a very powerful drug, thus why it's not often prescribed. I take mine only in the a.m.
I would verify both with your Doctor and Pharmacist those instructions.
I've been on a *VERY HIGH* dose of T-3 (100mcg)--Cytomel---since 2007.
I haven't felt this good in years and really don't want to go off of the Cytomel.
The iodine alone didn't seem to do it for me, but I do like the Cytomel and
'find' myself doing stuff, instead of trying to figure out how I'm going to get another nap.
Hi, I have been treated for Hashi's for just over 3 years (June '05).
I was started on just synthroid then added cytomel in Dec '06. Adjustments made at first and things were good until this past Feb when after blood work my doctor said my TSH was too low and he dropped my synthroid.
Repeat blood work in early May showed TSH still low so another reduction in synthroid. Blood work at end of June again low TSH = decrease in synthroid. Late August TSH .12 (.45 - 4.5).
Hi - apparently this Cytomel is very potent stuff, this is what is seem to need.
What are the side effects and how effective is it when used correctly. My
metabolism is very delicate and I see why it is prescribed in small amounts.
I am just disgusted with medical viewpoints and when I go in there to see them
they don't seem to know too much about thyroid problems.
m really concerned about finding a doctor that will test Free T3/Free T4, prescribe Cytomel, take my symptoms into account and ignore TSH.
At six months since starting medicine for Hashi/Hypo, we moved to London. At the time, I was taking T4 only. On my first visit/labs they reduced my T4 dose based exclusively on TSH which was in range (.8), but they wanted my TSH over 1.
