<< The cytomel effect will wear off after a while as when your body adapts it turns your own thyroid production off...so if you do ever go off cytomel,..wean off very slowly..or you wil gain back so much weight until your own thyroid kicks in...could be 12 weeks at least for this to happen>>Should I go off the cytomel before this happens? Or should I stay on it for a long time? Does resistance increase and will I have to keep raising the dose?
<< Usually increasing cytomel is increased in about 7.5mcg steps up..and I guess most would be on 25mcg to 50mcg as a "typical" dose.>>
Thanks.
