>THYROID(T3):
>1. How much can i expect from 50mcg Levothyroxine (T3) to counteract Nardil weight gain?
Honestly, its not a good practice to depend on one drug to treat the side effects of another.
>2. Can Thyroid dosage be increased over 50mcg?
I think I'm on the high end at .125 mcg. Its really easy to overdose on thyroid medication-you'll usually feel like you're coming down with the flu.
>3. How much is Thyroxine "Serotonergic"? Does it increase likelyhood of serotonin syndrome?
No to both questions.
>REQUIP:
Dosing advice?
If you're battling RLS, no more than 4 mg a day is recommended. It is also recommended you titrate up from .125 mg over a 7 day period.
If you're taking Requip to treat Parkinson's Disease, you can take up to 24 mg a day.
What are you taking it for?
>SEROQUEL:
Could 25mg for sleep possibly have an impact on weight?Absolutely not. I take 100 mg for sleep and continue to lose weight.
