I've been on T4 for for a number of months and my body temp's not changed. I can just tell that I'm getting a little leaner. I'm also on HGH.

T4 increases your basal metabolic rate but I've never heard of it increasing core temperature with conservative dosages.

I've been on 100mcg for 3 months along with GH and the only thing I notice as far as sides is more sweating during workouts/cardio/physical labor. It's been hot as hell this summer though so who knows if it's the T4 or not......

i never heard of t4 raising your temp either.

100mcg of T4 heated me up the first few days of administration but it soon leveled out back to normal body temp levels (I never checked with a thermometer just what I was feeling). That being said I got remarkably leaner in just the two weeks I took it.

The sweating will ease up once your body gets used to the dosage. For me, in the beginning, the hour I go to sleep is a good indicator if its working or not. Especially the 1st week your on it, you should be staring at the ceiling while laying in bed.

Sounds like you are dosing you T4 at night...I myself prefer a morning dose as it gives me a good amount of energy.

is everyone taking it in the morning? and empty stomach?

@M302 no, I'm taking it in the morning and afternoon but also forgot to mention its a T3/T4 mix. The T3 is what does the number on me.

How late in the afternoon are you taking your T3/T4 mix? You know that these have such a long half-life that a morning dose should do you just fine. I would bet your sleeping problems are due to the later dose.
