alot of people start off with 25mcgs i would assume you would have to cut the dosage by half to 12.5 mcgs...as far as the rebound effect if you only took 25 mcgs you shouldnt have anything to worry about when it comes to the rebound effect...unless you tapered it down to 25 mcgs and that is where you are now.

A low dose of T3 can help with protein synthesis. If you are going to use it for that reason only I would suggest you go with 12.5mg so you dont have to worry bout any rebound or such.

Huh? 25mcg is WAY more than most people need in a day, unless they have their thyroid removed. In my own case, using only 5mcg of cytomel 2 times a day made my TSH jump from 3.5 to .1 (.1 is considered out of normal range and hyperthyroidism). IF you browse google groups, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone with true hypothyroidism using more than 5mcg twice daily - even those with TSH in the high teen range (20 or above)
The ONLY way 25mcg would even approach a replacement dose is if someone had serious, serious hypothyroidism.
I don't advocate using cytomel either, because prior to using it my TSH hovered near 1 (which is ideal.). My thyroid bounced back several months after using it, but not to the same level it was before. In retrospect, using it was complete stupidity since I could have gotten the same results with diet and cardio, without the muscle loss.

Yeah, these people are using it not for hypothyroidism, but fat loss.
I know nobody here has a prescription for 75mcg of T3. Simply not possible without extenuating circumstances (thyroid cancer, and whatnot).
Like I said earlier, there are better options IMO for fat loss without the muscle loss and possible lessened thyroid output post therapy(note lessened, not suppressed which is likely for a lot of people, but doesn't always happen....)
Anyway: to answer your original question. Taper down VERY slowly. Split the tabs up into 4ths and lower it by 1/4th of a dose every 5-7 days. Get bloodwork done 2 months after your therapy to see where your thyroid is, get a TSH test done at a minimum. You want a TSH between 1 and 2.
And don't do any thermogenics or fat loss aids in this 2 month period, or it will prolong TSH recovery....you should eat plenty of carbs and do cardio to improve recovery.
