T-3 sides.... are they bad?

Whats up guys? need a little help. not for myself but for a friend.

i myself have used T-3 a few times with great results. i never missed a dose and did everything to a tee.
Now, my roomate wants to put on 10 pounds of lean muscle and drop his bodyfat from 15-18% to single digits. he is going to be taking 50mg winny ed and 40mg var for 6 weeks. he already busts his ass in the weight room and hits the cardio hard. so, i told him he should try some cytomel with his cycle. now i have a lot of experience with t-3 and know the importance of ramping up and down slowly and not running it for to long (5 weeks for him). ive made it very clear to him how important it is to ramp and to not miss a dose, space out the doses, ect ect.

im hoping that you guys can claer up the dangers, side effects and personal experiences bad or good for him. Help him make up his mind if t-3 is for him.

thanks guys
 
Have your freind read this bro:
Cytomel is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid but a thyroid hormone. As a substance it contains synthetically manufactured liothyronine sodium which resembles the natural thyroid hormone tricodide-thyronine (L-T3). The thyroid of a healthy person usually produces two hormones, the better known L-thyroxine (L-T4) and the aforementioned L-triiodine-thyronine (L-T3). Since Cytomel is the synthetic equivalent of the latter hormone, it causes the same processes in the body as if the thyroid were to produce more of the hormone. It is interesting to note that L-T3 is clearly the stronger and more effective of these two hormones. This makes Cytomel more effective than the commercially available L-T4 compounds such as L-thyroxine or Synthroid. L-T3 has proven to be 4-5 times more biologically active and to take effect more quickly than L-thyroxine (L-T4)." In school medicine Cytomel is used to treat thyroid insufficiency (hypothyroidism). Among other secondary symptoms are obesity, metabolic disorders, and fatigue. Bodybuilders take advantage of these characteristics and stimulate their metabolism by taking Cytomel, which causes a faster conversion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Body builders, of course, are especially interested in an increased lipolysis, which means increased fat burning. Competing body builders, in particular, use Cytomel during the weeks before a championship since it helps to maintain an extremely low fat content, without necessitating a hunger diet. Athletes who use low dosages of Cytomel report that by the simultaneous intake of steroids, the steroids become mote effective, most likely as the result of the faster conversion of protein.

To a great extent several body builders who are pictured in "muscle magazines" and display a hard and defined look in photos, eat fast food and iron this out by taking Cytomel. The over stimulated thyroid burns calories like a blast furnace. Nowadays, instead of Cytomel, athletes use Clenbuterol which is becoming more and more popular. Those who combine these two compounds will burn an enormous amount of fat. Cytomel is also popular among female body builders. Since women generally have slower metabolisms than men, it is extremely difficult for them to obtain the right form for a competition given today's standards. A drastic reduction of food and calories below the 1000 calorie/day mark can often be avoided by taking Cytomel. Women, no doubt, are more prone to side effects than men but usually get along well with 50 mcg/day. A short-term intake of Cytomel in a reasonable dosage is certainly "healthier" than an extreme hunger diet.

As for the dosage, one should be very careful since Cytomel is a very strong and highly effective thyroid hormone. It is extremely important that one begins with a low dosage, increasing it slowly and evenly over the course of several days. Most athletes begin by taking one 25-mcg tablet per day and increasing this dosage every three to four days by one additional tablet. A dose higher than 100-mcg/ day is not necessary and not advisable. It is not recommended that the daily dose be taken all at once but broken down into three smaller individual doses so that they become more effective. It is also important that Cytomel not be taken for more than six weeks. At least two months of abstinence from the drug needs to follow. Those who take high dosages of Cytomel over a long period of time are at risk of developing a chronic thyroid insufficiency. As a consequence, the athlete might be forced to take thyroid medication for the rest of his life. It is also important that the dosage is reduced slowly and evenly by taking fewer tablets and not be ended abruptly. Those who plan to take Cytomel should first consult a physician in order to be sure that no thyroid hyperfunction exists.

Possible side effects are: heart palpitation, trembling, irregular heartbeat, heart oppression, agita-tion, shortness of breath, excretion of sugar through the urine, excessive perspiration, diarrhea, weight loss, psychic disorders, etc., as well as symptoms of hypersensitivity." Our experience is that most symptoms consist of trembling of hands, nausea, headaches, high perspiration, and increased heartbeat. These negative side effects can often be eliminated by temporarily reducing the daily dosage. Those who use Cytomel over several weeks will experience a decrease in muscle mass. This can be avoided or delayed by simultaneously taking steroids. For the most part, since Cytomel also metabolizes protein, the athlete must eat a diet rich in protein.
 
bro, i have already shown him this and about a hundres other "profesional" profiles on t-3. i do more reasearch than most before i use anything. im just looking for personal experiences.

for example. every profile talkes about tha same crap like:

Possible side effects are: heart palpitation, trembling, irregular heartbeat, heart oppression, agita-tion, shortness of breath, excretion of sugar through the urine, excessive perspiration, diarrhea, weight loss, psychic disorders, etc

but how many people actually experience psychic disorders?

what im saying is these profiles make t-3 sound like no one should use it but we all know t-3 use is quite common.

im hoping that you guys can clear up the dangers, side effects and personal experiences bad or good for him. Help him make up his mind if t-3 is for him.
 
On a personal note, I used t-3 many times over the past 4 years- Probably 5 or 6- Always kept my cycles short and ramped up and down. Now, in all fairness I never had bloodwork done prior but just recently found that my thyroid is funtioning 1/2 it's normal level. So, now I am on synthroid and as per my physician, will be for the rest of my life. Besides normal sides associated with thyroid hormone, the lack of functioning caused my cholesterol to sky rocket. Be safe.

The only sides i experience are heart palpitations...and im not sure if to put this down to a side but i feel very very depressed some times and i just end up stuffing my face with all sorts of shit. I have been on T3 now for 7 weeks...tapered slowly up to 100mcg which i stayed at for 5 days then slowly back down to 50ncg where ihave been at for several weeks and would like to stay at 50mcg for maybe another few weeks...

Could this be negative towards my thyroid staying on this long...?
Maybe plan 12 weeks max

How about maybe dropping down to 25mcg which is not classed as a high dose i believe...i think best bet would be to just book with GP - cheers for feedback - also bud do you know of anyone who has taken T3 for longer than 6 weeks
 
If he's in the 15-18% BF range there is really no need for him to take T3. I said this over and over again for years on these boards: T3 SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN YOUR METABOLISM HAS DROPPED DUE TO DIETING HARD FOR 4-6 WEEKS. This is when your metabolism will really hit a wall. It is also most useful for individuals needing to be around 4-6% BF. Unless he has a naturally slow metabolism, just have him diet and train while he's on the winny/anavar.

Bro, come on now..use some common sence..you really need to not go past 6 weeks...this is dangerous! If i were you i would go get checked by your dr. On a side note.....can coffee be consumed w/T3...not together..but can you still be on T3 and drink coffee?
