My pdoc prescribed Cytomel (a synthetic version of the T3 thyroid hormone) to augment my Nardil a couple weeks ago. i am not very hopeful, especially since i have been skinny as heck all my life (i'm 5'11" & about 155 lbs) and really do not think i have any thyroid hormone deficiency or whatever-- and i would like to gain weight and definitely not lose any more.
i was prescribed 25mcg for 4 days and then 50mcg/day subsequently, but i think that is too much too fast (which is common for pdocs to do/prescribe, in my experience) and so have just been taking ~12.5mcg/day.. and then alternating between 12.5mcg and 25mcg per day. So far i have noticed increased physical energy and motivation, but also slightly increased nervousness/anxiety. My appetite has been ravenous at times, too, which is nice, but i just hope that my metabolism isn't more than counteracting that.
i don't really have any specific questions, but if anyone could give any advice or past experience with Cytomel or any good info, i would appreciate it.
