T3 Dosage

[kodiak]

I was hoping that someone could help me out by answering a T3 question. I'm currently taking T3 along with 750mg of test enth per week. This is my first time taking T3 so I had planned to follow the typical dosing protocol of starting with 25mcg/day and slowly increasing the dose up to 100mcg. Anyway, here's my situation.

I'm currently doing a bunch of prerequisite classes so I can start physical therapy school in the fall. At the moment, I'm doing a chem class and a physics class. Between lecture and lab, I'm spending about 9 hours a day in the classroom on top of homework. I'm taking Adderrall as a study aid but I seem to be having some problems with the T3/Adderrall combo.

I've been taking 50mcg of T3 (with good results) but don't feel comfortable upping the dose due to concerns about heart rate and blood pressure problems from the T3/Adderrall combo. Now classes are Mon-Thurs. I don't take Adderrall on Fri, Sat or Sun. My question is as follows. Would it be alright to take 75mcg of T3 on these long weekends and then back the dose down to 50mcg during the week? I apologize that this post isn't as succinct as it should be. Thanks in advance for any replies.

No need just keep it at what it is.....it needs to be titrated up and down slowly and evenly.

I agree with S-J... don't go screwing up your gradual increase...

Question; if you're getting good results now, why not just keep it there?

Let me let you in on a little secret... what you're doing with school is more important than the way you look right now. Don't go trading away your school accomplishments for some short-term fat loss. Doing the aderol is more important. Wrap up that stuff and come back to the T-3 when you're done. Or just keep the T-3 at low levels.

Thanks for the advice, both of you. I am getting good results off of 50mcgs so I'll stick with that doseage for the duration of this cycle. I can always go up on my next one. Anyway, thanks again.

No prob.

I am hearing fellaz staying on for long periods of time (2-3monhts) Usually at 25mcg...no higher than 50mcg with no adverse reactions.


Any thoughts on this ?

Different folks try different things. Back in the day I knew someone who was very big on doing really high doses of the stuff...although the idea of defying convention generally appeals to me, that kind of risk can be dangerous.

I'd say if you feel the need to stay on this stuff for very long periods of time, you need to seek alternatives. Between epherdine, clen, lipostabil, liposuction and GH, there's a lot of ways to try to cut the fat (not to mention increased cardio- duh!). Why bother putting your thyroid at risk of permanent damage by using this stuff in an unsafe manner?

That's just my take on it though.. I have used T-3 and am about to start again.. but I keep it within bounds. Just like anything we talk about on this board, you've got to use it responsibly.

stay with whats comfortable. 50-100mcg of t3 is good. just take your time coming off.
