synthoid or t3

[Max Expansion]

im not quite sure why guys go straight for the t3 when the want to increase metabolism. surely using the precursor, t4 is the better approach.

i am very new to this whole area, but the cousin was prescribed t4 to aid waitloss after he was diagnosed with low thyroid activity.

just curiouse

t4 is starting to get more attention. You have a good point.

i dont really understand the mechanisms by which they work. i think that t4 is the precursor to t3.

would it be smart to use them both. the majority of discussion on the boards concerns t3.

any one got any ideas.

cheers

T3 works great for me. I say don't fix something that ain't broken.

you are messing with your thyroid here. i went the t3 route (on the lower dosage end) and now my endo wants me on synthroid for the rest of my life. not the typical case, as your thyroid should bounce back to normal production. but be careful bro's. thyroid function aint something to be messing with for a few extra lbs to shed....

i know- im pretty hesitant myself- considering it, but not sure if i want to do it.

how much were you doing and for how long.

i got up to 200mcg a few times....mostly 75-150, slightly ramped up.....for about 5 weeks. but i did it at the end of my cycle and so it just coincided with my blood test afterwards....tsh was still very high, so doc prescribed me t4. i was on 50mcg for 2 months and the next tsh and t4 readings were only slightly better.

i would assume that if i'd just have let my system recover naturally, it eventually would. that is why this last time after he wanted to up my dosage to 75mcg, i said fuck this and waned down the last of my current bottle. i'm gonna have thyroid readings ever 2 months or so to see if i recover naturally. hopefully so

Keep in mind, as with most anything more is not necessarily better with T3. I've personally had my best luck with T3 running around 30-35mcg a day.
