T3 help needed!!!!!!

[smokenuz06]

My girl has been on T3 for about 2 weeks now and is at 150mcg a day and has started getting really bad headaches in the past couple of days. Every morning when she wakes up her head is just pounding. Can anyone tell me whats causing this at all???? Any ideas????

[tboney]

That is far to high a dose of t3 imo. The headaches are probably her bp. Why is she taking t3?

I have read women doses are around 50-75mcg a day. And even for men 100-125 per day is a guide line max. So I would say cut T3 down. Drink lots of water

150mcg is a high dose. Cut the t3 down to half.

Her BP is fine we checked 135 over 75. She is taking it to lose about 10lbs before summer. She works out alot with me and basically wants to shread down. She isn't fat by anymeans just wants to cut off that last little bit. Heres a pic of her.

Again, that is far to high a dose! Bro she doesnt need t3. She doesnt look like she has much fat to loose! In fact she looks good. However, if she really wants to get shredded, tell her to diet and do cardio. There is plenty of time between now and summer.

She looks good to me. No need for the t3.

why would she take T3?
Was this your suggestion?

Also its the T3 thats causing her headaches. Nothing else.

My wife was prescribed T3 and she is only taking 15mcg a day. And within a year has had phenomenal results. 150mcg is a ridiculous amount to take.

She takes T3 because she wanted to. She has a hypothyroid so even with diet and cardio she won't lose any weight. It just won't happen. I have been training with her for about 6 months now and still nothing.

whats her current weight and height?

Hypothyroidism can often be diagnosed with a simple blood test. In some persons, however, it's not so simple and more detailed tests are needed. Most importantly, a good relationship with a good endocrinologist will almost surely be needed.

Hypothyroidism is completely treatable in many patients simply by taking a small pill once a day. However, this is a simplified statement, and it's not always so easy. There are several types of thyroid hormone preparations and one type of medicine will not be the best therapy for all patients. Many factors will go into the treatment of hypothyroidism and it is different for everybody.

She needs to deal with a specialist.
Only they will be able to help her with her problems,

Your playing with fire. No one here will be able to give her advice on how to use T3.

My advice is that she should stop using it and talk to a doctor about options. If there are no routes offered from the Doc, then tell him/her she is thinking about doing T3 and they can monitor her. Even though doc's wont always condone what you are doing, They will not turn their back on you.

She has already been to a doctor and is being treated for the hypothyroid. Thats how I know that she does have it. She is 5'5" and 145LBS. Im not trying to treat her disease once so ever. The doctor won't give her the medicine to make her lose weight its against there practice. She has been training for awhile and her weight doesn't change because of the hypothyroid. We reduced her dosage down to 50MCG and her headaches are gone. Thanks for everyones help.
