Can clenbuterol be taken at the same time as 
I am now two months without a cycle, prior to that I had a cycle, two weeks, cycle, two weeks, cycle. Believe it or not, I have been going through this balancing act for about five years after a battle with Graves/Hoshimotos that I couldn't win...had to have my thyroid removed. I have been to numerous doctors and at one point was on 75 synthroid and 30 cytomel, but was so sick. That is when they switched me to Tirosint and reduced my cytomel.
If you have a T3 med only- you can function well . It is a short lived hormone and depletes quickly. I also read and was told recently by my endo with T3 meds it sometimes can suppress normal thyroid function. The thyroid - in a way gets lazy- when T3 meds are taken and then decides to sit back and let the med work instead of itself.
It will take a while, like one or two months to flush out the excess t3 pooling in your blood. You can either use Cytomel or Liothyronine ( pure form of T3 which you can find in compound pharmacy) I wouldn't suggest you to get on to synthroid until you fix the RT3 problem. There should be a reason why you have RT3, you need to find it out. Have your doctor check your
- iron
-ferrittin ( for me ferittin was low when I had the problem)
-Cortisol

Initally - going on a T3 med - Cytomel in addition to the Synthroid - you will feel great - then crash. This applies to natural thyroid combo meds too.
T3 hormone is direct - which means your body accepts it immediately. You expressed you felt aweful prior to starting Cytomel - so that says you were hypothyroid and wanted direct T3. Well, you gave the body - what it needed - but it wants more.
This is proven on your FT3 lab - the only thing is this is an old lab so one can only assume.
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..
If your Free T4 level is high and your Free T3 level is low, you may have a conversion issue. If you are tested and this is the case, your doc "should" perscribe T3 (Cytomel). I say "should" because in general a T3 test doesn't always get run and lots of docs just aren't as up on it as they should be. Also, conversion issues are not all that common.
That could have been due to an inadequate dose, or that you were not adequately converting the T4 med to T3. Now you are taking only a T3 med, Cytomel,which is not normally recommended unless it is to resolve an unusual problem, excess Reverse T3. Your Reverse T3 is middle of the range, so I'm not sure why you are taking only T3 med.
At any rate your Free T3 and Free T4 are both too low in the range. This frequently results in hypo symptoms, such as yours.
I am on 3 grains of armour, which amounts to 27 mcg of T3 (9 mcg per grain). Before switching I was taking 15 mcg on T3 (cytomel). So theoretically, despite the fact that my body has to convert the T4 to T3, then shouldn't I be getting that same type of readily available T3 in the naturethroid aside from the T4 it has in it? Does the T4 block the T3 from working somehow? Or is it the time release? It seems like I should be bouncing off the walls with all of the T3 in the naturethroid.
Trail and error asTamra said. And really - hats off to your doctor lowering the T4 while trying this new script T3 Cytomel.
It better to work up slow than to push too much in and I am happy to hear your doctor is playing that safe w/ you.
You may find taking the T3 med around 10 or 11 is best for you.
