does using t3 while tapering up and down cause a problem to ur thyroid??? any scientific studies to back this up or contradict it???

i took for 2days 50mcgs of t3 but am kinda worried about my thyroid.... can i stop for reading and researching more and go back on it? or i may screw smthing!
thx a lot!

You should taper up and down starting at 50mgc is a little high. Normally you would start or say 20mgc and work up 10-20mgc every couple of days and the same for the way down.

Do not worry about messing up your thyroid Lots of people have done T3 for months and some for nearly a year and there thyroids are fine. U can get some natural thyroid booster for after if u want to be careful.

Im starting to t3 soon on my cycle and i will be running it for bout 8 weeks and have done this several times before reaching 120mgc and for me i have never had any problems.

yep, love the stuff.. have you considered using t4 instead??

i was reading that ur body own production is around 25 or 30mcg so there is no reason to start that low and i saw a protocol on some sites thats why i started at 50mcgs.
thats what am folowing:
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.

you can run T3 year round with about 2 months off to recover proper tyroid.....contrary to what a lot of people think......your thyroid recovers very fast, and if a small dosage messes it up permanantly, then you probably had thyroid issues to begin with...
