cytomel fat loss

She told me she was 20 lbs over weights due to being hypo and was only be able to loose few lbs even with teaching many aerobic classes and eating healthy until she heard of Cytomel. She started taking 25mcg of Cytomel 4 yrs ago and noticed the fat melted quickly. She is now at her ideal weight and very fit.

Now that I am on Cytomel, can I still do this? Finally, are there any safe fat burners and energy boosters that can be taken with Cytomel?

Lupo does not believe or think the free t3 has anything to do with fat loss or weight loss because of the science behind calorie in calorie out, but not everyone is the same--some where along the way I have really slowed my metabolism down and would like to know how to repair it and there has to be some correlation between the Free T3 levels--He says that they don't usually treat based on those numbers because of the cytomel being short lived, so then I would think you would go by the level

I am on 150mcg now and am still fat, tired and short of breath. Can adding cytomel help and can I use it even if I had thyroid ca?

Hi Ahmee, Thank you for responding. My T3 free us 2.9 with a reference range of 2.3 - 4.2 pg/ml My T4 free is 1.23 with a reference range of 0.75 - 2.00 ng/dl My TSH is .27 with a reference range of 0.30 - 4.70 uIU/ml My reverse T3 is 13.5 with reference range of 9.0 - 27.0 1 month ago 1.27, 2 months ago it was .54 The thing was that I was still feeling tired.

I do believe the information in the book. I do think my blood tests are "normal" but hormones aren't making it to the cellular level. I'm scientific just enough to understand that concept. My endo doesn't think there is any difference between Synthroid and Levoxyl, and he is unwilling to prescribe Cytomel, at least to me, so I've been researching like mad to figure out why I'm still losing hair, gaining weight around the mid section only, and so fatigued by 3 p.m.

Will adding cytomel to your levoxyl help with hair loss? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/263292'>Cytomel in addition to Synthroid</a>.

Just so worried hair is going to continue to fall out. Not sure if hair loss is worse due to addition of cytomel. Would it help to increase both? Feel great with the addition of cytomel but it has seemed to accelerate hair loss a bit. It is to the point scalp is showing and bald spots are occuring. Wide part. Thin all over and very dry and brittle. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

My doctor initially had me on cytomel after the surgery but after my follow up and a clear biopsy (most of my relatives have had cancerous thyroids) I was switched to levothyroxine. Now I am experiencing hair loss, severe muscle spasms in my left hand and I can fall asleep anywhere -anytime! I just received my latest TSH result which is 29. My doctor is uping my hormone and adding back in a low dose of cytomel also .... are these symtoms typical of a high TSH?

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...to no avail, I just got fatter....I have NO ENERGY, NO SEX DRIVE, NO MOTIVATION...very unlike me...I am DESPERATE for answers! Here is my blood work below: progesterone-1.0 ng/ml (LOW, but in the lowest range) TSH-.01 (WAY LOW...should be .4-4.5) ESTRADIOL-17 (Low, but in range) CORTISOL-15.

That was a pretty drastic change in Cytomel. You only lost 10 lbs, and he cut your Cytomel in half. Hair loss is often the last symptom to go away. The body heals the more crucial systems first. Hair loss is reactive and often has more to do with what was going on a month or six weeks ago than what is happening today. Is your doctor testing FREE T3 and FREE T4? Please post labs and reference ranges from before he reduced your meds if you have them.

I'm desperate to find help for multiple symptoms that I feel may be thyroid related. I moved to a different state across the country 20 years ago and I have yet to find a good endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid diseases such as Graves- consequently, for the last 20 years, my health has been spiraling down & out of control. I had severe Graves disease & had a thyroidectomy leaving 2gr in '75. I've been on 125 mcg Levothyroxin for many years.

I would like to know if changing from half of .25 synthroid to .5 of cytomel causes my hair to become britol and break off? I was on half of the synthroid I mentioned, and my level was at a 4. The Dr. thought it should go lower so she put me on .5 of Cytomel. I noticed the weight around my middle seemed to have trimmed down some. I teach aerobics and really didn't have any of side effects except did get tired if I did too much.

I want a diet for fat loss.. I want to reduce 5 kg weight. I am 5'2 in height.. And my weight is 53kg Please suggest me a good fat loss diet and protein powder..

What will it take to lose weight while having hypothyroidism and being on cytomel? I know the side effects of cytomel includes weight loss......but how much time do you have to be on cytomel for to start seeing those side effects? I can use any help on this. Thanks in advance.

I am currently on 88mcg of Synthroid and 10 mcg of Cytomel. My symptoms of fatigue, hair loss, weight gain (more fat than weight), tinnitus, and muscle cramps are still with me. I am just over 5'9" and weigh 170.

Hi, I am wondering what everyone's experience is with Cytomel in regards to weight loss and how long it took to have a measurable loss. Thank you!

My ENT prescribed Cytomel for me to take from now until my RAI treatment (I just had total thyroidectomy 10 days ago and have a small papilliary cancer w/ follicular variant). Anyway, I'm not having any symptoms, except hair loss, since my surgery and I'm wondering if I should go ahead and start taking the Cytomel now or should I wait until I actually feel bad and need it? What is everyone's experience with Cytomel?

If you are on a synthetic T4 drug like Synthroid and you are not taking a T3 drug like Cytomel, then you may need to find an endo who will test and treat the FT3 levels, so that you can lose the weight.

I have gained 40+ pounds since starting Levo... I am hypothyroid. I am at a loss as what to do. I used to be active and outgoing and fun. I'm tired, foggy, lazy and fat. How can I lose weight with thyroid disease and how can I get my meds to feel like they are working? My Endo says my levels are fine so there's no need to change anything.

But if you could give me what you would recommend for the tirosint and cytomel I would greatly appreciate it. I have read where other people were asking about cytomel - well my short story was when i first went on tirosint (they killed my thyroid) I was dead tired and saw a specialist that put me on the cytomel and within 1 week I was back to my normal self - no longer dead tired - made a huge difference! Look forward to hearing from you!
