I know ephedrine hastens the deiodinase from T4 to T3 and I am sure synephrine is just a synthetic that also acts on adrenergic receptors. I am wondering if taking this, the T4 was converting quickly, causing pituitary to lower TSH, then being depleted by what I imagine must be a high reverse T3. And T4 is left depleted as well.
Clen is a beta 2 adrenergic agonist and may be making it worse.
I am bothered by the idea that Giggle, who is so healthy, has so many possible underlying problems and yet no symptoms - it just is too counterintuitive, although it is possible.
Do you know anything about these drugs or can you have a look for us? Please add what you can, if you have time, as I am off to bed with as much medication as I can muster to try and fight this head cold. If not I will do some reading in the morning and see if it all ties together or now.
Giggle, if something like this is going on, it would also explain your messed up lipids - throwing off what might be usually good thyroid values would cause that.
Goodnight.
