help! T-3 issue...

[SoCalJay]

I'm currently cutting, diet and cardio, with low dose Var 30mg. and T-3 at 150mcg/day.

I've got a blood test coming up and one of the tests is for thyroid. What should I do? What will the test show? If it's supraphysical amounts of T-3, might not be so good, but if it shows T-3 is shut down, maybe I'll get a script for T-3??

Really don't want to raise suspicions, Doc seems to always raise an eyebrow at my request for multiple Testosterone bloodwork a year already.

At 150mcgs/day!!! Ahhh yeah, thats gonna show up. And no you wont be getting a script for it unless you stop it cold turkey few days before and then your T# shows up as nil. If you go in on that dose your doc will shit his pants.

So I guess I need to check the half life and stop prior to the test accordingly?

If you're taking 150 PD don't just stop taking it. postpone your test & taper off properly

Dude don't you dare just stop cold turkey. That's absolutely stupid. You *MUST* taper off of that stuff. 150mcg/day is quite high.

How are you planning on coming down from that? How did you ramp up?

 

[SoCalJay]

50- 4 days
100 - 4 days
then split 150 am-pm

150 is a lot, but I've heard of guys at 250mcg day, that's a bit much IMO.

What Im getting at here is you need to ramp down and take that test when your ready. Its at your request so I wouldnt sweat it.

 

[i am what i am]

A lot of studies that I have read suggested that there was no additional benefit to tapering down on T3. But I would get yourself down to at least 50 mcg/ed before stopping

If he stops imediately though and goes in for a test he will not have normal results.

This sounds pretty good. Just ramp down, take 2 weeks off, then get my test.
