cytomel for 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?

I think I should go back to 88 and 2.5 cytomel for 6 weeks. 7.5 was to much. And the loss of muscle tone scarey. But the pelvic ache is not fun, and my ph off causing a discharge. I did get tested for std's nothing has shown up yet. I let dr. give me meds anyway for infection before final results come back. I have had a partner for 3 years, we do not live together. I think maybe armour is messing with my female stuff, giving me pain, is that possible?

After 2 months I went back on the iron, and bam, there came the period. (The progesterone did nothing but make me fat.) So 2 weeks ago I went back for a follow up appt, itching to give him a piece of my mind, and after sitting in his waiting room for 1.5 hours, I got up and left. No one ever called to apologize for making me wait or reschedule another appt. I am SO ALL DONE with doctors. Sorry. More venting. But this is so darn frustrating!!!!! What do you think of the new season of House?

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>.

added 5 mg of cytomel before these labs. Was on for one month. First lab numbers are after addition to cytomel. Second numbers are previous. I am on one grain of WP Thyroid. Have been on WP for 5 months. TSH 0.55 (0.450-4.500 UIU/ml) 1.270 Reverse T3 14.6 (9.2-24/1 ng/dl) 18.1 T4, Free 1.08(0.82-1.77 ng/dl) 1.27 Thyroglobulin Antibody <1.0 (0.0-0.9 IU/ml) Only tested first lab.

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?

I did NOT FIGURE THIS OUT at the time and NEITHER DID MY DR and PRESCRIBED 15MCG OF CYTOMEL TWICE A DAY AND .25MCG OF SYNTHROID...I HAVE NOW BEEN ON BOTH FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. Then...a few months ago, I noticed a fat gain again...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!

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.

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 am trying this special scale now that tells me my bone density, water and muscle level. The number are 40% for fat, which is strange, 35% and 35% for water and muscle, and bone is 4%.

This question I posted about the use of Cytomel breaking off my hair was for Hypothyroid not hyperthyroid. I had no symptoms of Hypo but was told I needed medication.

itself, and you will still be burning calories/fat. Including a daily amount of even light exercise - 30 minutes of moderate walking, for example - will have much better effects, however.

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..

Hi ....Is there anyone on cytomel for hypothyroidism? How long does it take to work? I have put on about 10 pounds slowly even though I have been exercising atleast 3 times a week for 5 out of last 6 months. Then finally about a month ago I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. At least now I know the reason for weight gain. I just started on 25 mcg of cytomel. I can't wait for it to start working. Just this week I started burning at least 500 calories a day by exercising ....

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.

I'd like to clarify something here, please. If I remember correctly, Luvlaughlin has Hashi's; she's not wanting to use cytomel JUST for weight loss. I believe her question is whether or not it does help with weight loss, most likely gained while hypo. Everyone is different, so whereas it might help some lose the weight they gained from being hypo, it won't help us all. Cytomel should only be taken if blood work and symptoms indicate that it's needed.

When you were on 100 mcg Cytomel for weight loss, did it make you feel hyper at all? Did you lose weight while on it?

Ask for the cytomel in 5 mcg tabs - then you can split the dosage much easier.......Mine are 5 mcg, which worked out perfectly when I was on 10 mcg/day - I could take one first thing in the morning, then another later in the morning, without having to split pills. Now that I'm down to 5 mcg/day, I still don't have to split the pills - they just last twice as long......... To get the 12.5, you will have to go with 1.5 pill twice/day, unless you can get it dropped to just 10 mcg/day.....
