When to get labs after T3

[WalnutBlast]

How long after coming off T3 do you guys get bloodwork done to make sure things are back to normal? I was on 25mcg. Coming off due to high heart rate and palpitations.

I’ve been off it for a couple days now, weight popped up ~4lbs, but I’m still getting some palpitations

I’m in a similar situation. General consensus is 4 weeks. From what I’ve read 25mcg is what the body naturally produces but I may be wrong. If this is true, your body shouldn’t see a huge shock from where it was at compared to suppression. Going cold turkey from 100mcg, hypothetically I could see that being a harder rebound as you have much greater difference between your hyper and hypo states.

After one month my bloods was ok after 3 months use. I started 12.5 a day, topped 100 mcg 2ED than finished 12.5 for a day.

You shoud check regularly your body temperature and your heart rate after you wake up every morning. (at least mines are always very low post T3, around 43 BPM and 35.5 celsius)

If these two numbers still increasing, you should wait. If they hit a stable number, that's a good indicator you have recovered, then go get the bloodwork.

(I have fully recovered thyroid function around 55 BPM and 36.4 celsius body temp.)
