describe coming off t-3

**buffgator** · 10-16-2007, 09:24 PM

I am currently taking t-3 for the first time. I am doing it 3 weeks on 2 weeks off. My buddy said he does not like t-3 because it is real "harsh" on him coming off. However I did not ask him what he ment by this. What has been your guys experiances.

That is a wrong protocol for t3. The dosage should be tappered up to avoid problems and quitting can be cold turkey, although i prefer to tapper down also.

I did taper up. How long at a time do you run yours?

**hugovsilva** · 10-16-2007, 10:10 PM

As long as i please. Last time was 10 weeks straight.

I have run t3 nonstop since i started gh 2 yrs ago. i agree with hugo that you need to taper up and you can cut coldturkey

Who ever told you to do it like that should be shot. You taper slowly up to peak and slowly taper down. Not any 3/2

so what would be a good taper up/taper down? and how long would you take it for?

RA · 10-17-2007, 12:40 PM

Start 25mcg and increase it 25 every 6 days until you reach the level you want, say around 100. Then when you want to come off use the same protocol. Decrease it 25mcg every 6 until your off.

right so for the first week start at 25mcg,2nd week 50mcg,3rd 75mcg,4th 100 mcg,then stay at 100mcg till your ready to come off then just reverse the start up process??

**nbkandrew13** · 10-17-2007, 06:50 PM

i have done it both ways and i was much more tired all the time when i tried cold turkey

**ACAZORES** · 10-17-2007, 11:30 PM

Isnt 100mg too much?

**hugovsilva** · 10-18-2007, 12:15 AM

100mcg is the highest most will go including myself.

there is absolutely no medical proof that long term t3/t4 administration will cause permanent damage to your thyroid. even after 30 years of administration, patients have recovered full thyroid funtion in less than a month.

EX:
Days 1,2: 50mcgs
Days 3,4: 75mcgs
Days 5-18: 100 - 125mcgs
And HERE IS THE CRITICAL STAGE:
The SLOW taper. This is CRITICAL so that TSH levels
are allowed to adapt to the dosage so that there is no crash.
Days 19-22 : 125mcgs (or 100 depends on your max)
Days 23-26 : 100mcgs
Days 27-30: 75mcgs
Days 31-34: 50mcgs
Now, SUPER-SLOW(TSH will be VERY sensitive to ANY T3 now)
Days 35-41 : 37.5mcgs
Days 42-48 : 25 mcgs
Days 49-56 : 12.5 mcgs

8-weeks total.

I have never gotten withdrawel symptoms from t3, but I have only used it in 10 day spurts while on DNP .

**pr0digy9daniel** · 10-29-2007, 05:58 PM

Have any of you gone on long term (more than 2 months) T3, and then stopped after tapering down, and then had a check after 2 months from then on your thyroid levels? I would be interested in knowing if they recovered to what they were previously...

As for withdrawel symptoms, my opinion is T3 is a very very gentle drug... very few side effects if any...

yes, first time was 9 months - had thryoid levels checked at 4 weeks and 8 weeks - functions fully recovered at 8 weeks. Been on ever since.
