cytomel patient assistance

could anyone give me ideas as to where or who i would contact to get some patient assistance for acute hep c treatment? I am not working, cannot wait on s.s. disability. I try to do some construction work when available, but it is really rough.

I started at 125mcg of synthroid and had a low TSH level and I went to an endocrinoligist who changed my meds to 75 mcg synthroid and 5 mcg cytomel. I felt ok at this level and my TSH blood level was 1.2 and the T3 level was 1.8 which the doctor said was low. So, I am now on 1/2 of 125 mcg per day and 10mcg cytomel and I don't feel good...

I was reading the post about suboxone prices ,someone wanted to know if the was any assistance for the cost . I did some research this is what I found RECKITT BENCKISER suboxone patient assistance programs 1-866-512-2216 I don't know what are the guidelines but its worth a call . Any little bit I am sure would be very helpful. If I find anything else I will post it.

I was taking 50 MCG Synthroid and 4 tabs of Cytomel 5 mcg. My last labs were is Sept 2014 (below) and my endo called me and immediately told me I had shifted to hyper and asked me to bring down my cytomel. The thing is that I can't remember if she told me to adjust my synthroid. :( I know, foolish. My job has been consuming ... I remained at one synthroid per day.. with one cytomel in the am and another in the pm. My Sept 2014 labs: TSH 0.14, T4 Free 0.6, T3 Total 63.

Hi, I met a lady at the gym last week who happens to have thyroid disorder as well. She is hypo, however she looks great, she told me she used to have a hard time loosing weight even exercise daily. Her doctor precribed Cytomel at low dose with Synthroid and she said she started loosing weight easier. I heard a lot of hypo patients complain of weight gain or unable to loose weight, but don't hear much of patient taking Cytomel. Is there a reason why doctors don't prescribe Cytomel much?

I wanted to share some encouraging news for people who have Chronic Hep B and have financial difficulty affording Baraclude. I contacted Brystol Myers Squibb and applied for the Patient Assistance Program. The website and application is here: http://www.bms.com/products/Pages/programs.aspx It took about a week and they have approved me to receive the medication and are shipping it to my home.

After reading an article about Cytomel and speaking with my endocrinologist, he added Cytomel to my treatment. Recently he decided to reduce my Cytomel dosage by 1/2. Since that change, I have less energy and can't seem to stay awake. Could the lower dosage be the cause?

Is there a reason doctors don’t prescribe Cytomel much to hypo patient? Would you prescribe Cytomel to your patients who want to try Cytomel to loose the extra fat and help speed up their metabolism? Even with normal blood tests? What the dose of Cytomel to start with? She told me even some body builders take Cytomel short term to help them loose the “fat” quickly when they are in training. What do you think? Thanks so much.

I thought that the generic cytomel was exactly as the brand cytomel. no difference what so ever. I thought I read this somewhere in these forums???? i am on the generic for 3 weeks now and I really feel no different. the doc gave me 25 mg of cytomel to add to my 75mcg of synthroid. advice from you guys, so I cut my synthroid in half and taking only 6 mcg of cytomel. but I have been taking 1/2 of cytomel in the morning and breaking the other half in two. so yeah that is 25 mg.

This is my understanding of the patient assistance programs for Incivek. The list price, which no patient will have to end up paying, is $49,200 for 12 weeks. HOWEVER, the patient assistance programs, are more than generous. Typical Co-pay for the three prescriptions that will be needed will be between $50 and $250 each.

I had a TT in October '07 due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. I am 40 yo, the nodule was 12mm, there were no apparent metatheses at all, and I underwent radioactive iodine treatment afterward. The endo put me on 125mcg synthroid and up to 75mcg cytomel after the final scan. I then tapered off the cytomel. While on the cytomel, I felt "normal" meaning I had no symptoms either hyper or hypo and I never felt a rush from taking the cytomel.

Would your local mental health service have access to that information? Maybe whereever you go for governement assistance (financially) they may have some info. Have you tried a google search?

NDT and Cytomel will work for some people. T4 meds work for some people. T4 and Cytomel will work for some. NDT only works for some. The bottom line is that it is not the type of med that matters most. The important thing is getting your biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 up to a level that relieve symptoms. That can be accomplished with adequate doses of T4 meds, if your body adequately converts T4 to T3.

2 mg levothroxine but recently my doc. added 25 mcg of cytomel. My T3 levels went extremely high and TSH less then 0.5. I have been extemely ill - headaches, chills, sweats, light head, dizzy, naseau, anxiety. My doc has stopped the cytomel. My questions are: 1. How long does it take for the thryoid levels to return back to where they were. And how long do these symptoms last. 2. Was 25 mcg of cytomel a normal amount to add to 0.2 mg of levothroxine..

Without the patient assistance program I probably wouldn't be SVR - when my insurance refused to let me extend, they coudln't have made it easier and didn't even make me feel bad about needing them to help.

I am also on Copaxone - can I suggest that you talk with them again at Shared Solutions and ask what criteria they use for patient assistance? They fund for people without insurance or underinsured through NORD - national organization of rare disease. Unfortunately it sometimes takes more than one phone call to connect with the right people at SS to get help. If you can't work it out with SS you might talk to your neurologist about other options.

I just got my lab results back and need some help with what you think needs to happen with meds. I am thinking maybe lower the Synthroid and up the Cytomel. Currently I take .1MG of Synthroid and 5MCG of Cytomel split in have with 2.5 MCG in AM and 2.5 MCG in PM. I list labs from newest to oldest. 2/22/14 TSH - .932 (range .300-5.00) FT4 - 1.03 (range .58-1.64) FT3 - 3.22 (range 2.20-4.10) 11/8/13 (after these results I was put on the .
