One dilemma I always had about T3!

[tice1212]

Actually IMO you dont need to taper at all, up or down.
50-75mcg is sufficient and I only use it when Im running an anabolic so as not to lose muscle.
My approach, Take 50mcg, after 2-3 weeks evaluate my progress, if not sufficient I up it to 75mcg and run it out at that. When it comes time to stop, I just stop. No need to taper down, it does nothing. Anything 25mcg or over has your thyroid shut down so tapering down does nothing. Stop an within 2-3 weeks your thyroid function will be back to normal.

My issue with T3 is improper use, i have seen few figure / physique girls get destroyed by the stuff, bad advice + irresponsible use = disaster...i have seen few of them blow up to 200lbs and never shake it off...i know what you mean if cycled properly and tapered off with proper diet while coming off it, it is or can be a great tool for fat lose, but i feel a lot of people just jump on it in high dose and then come off and rebound like crazy...i have used it with my clients in the past with success but definitely try to avoid it with woman or run very low doses, that being said it is always nice to see another point of view on any subject as at the end of the day i am here to learn as much as i am here to help...

Mike my question is why do u have to taper up or down on it to come off. The thyroid is shut down at 25mcg or 225mcg. What is the reasoning for the tapering? It would be like tapering up and down with injectable test. Once ur shut down ur down right?

They are ahead of their conditioning probably because they are using T3...LOL...

Tice, from the research i remember doing years back it was highly recommended to taper down to reduce the negative impact of the T3 on the thyroid axis...as for tapering up, i would say so you can get the most out of each dose scheme and increase the dose as the bodies sensitivity is reduced...this part is somewhat of a guess for me...as for gear i prefer to front load all esters to saturate the plasma level right from the start...

Oh OK big dog I understand. So would u lower ur dosages by 10mcg everyday? So if I was at 50mcg a day and wanted to say at 25mcg would u lower it the next day to 40mcg then the next day 30mcg then 25mcg?

I would run 50mcg for 4-5 days then drop to 37.5mcg for 4-5 days, then down to 25mcg after that, if i was to come off all together i would keep cutting down to 12,5 and then 6,75 and then nothing....

It doesnt work that way physiologically so tapering IMO is not necessary at all. Lowering the dose slowly does not reduce the impact at all. Your contention was correct, 25mcg or over its shut down, shut down is shut down. There is no reduction in impact at all. I have never tapered and never will. Only thing you have to remeber (and this is true for tapering or not) is the 2-3 weeks after you cease using it you have GOT to be mentally strong and in control if your diet or you can go overboard and undo what you have done.

Body temp dont matter IMO

That was exactly my question, if body temperature is any indication of t3 doing its work.

I currently run it at 50mcg with oral winny 50mg ed / T-prop.+ Primo. 100mg each eod / 4iu hgh ed / proviron 50 mg ed.

I'm 95 kg, 183cm at about 15% bf....

I also use Animal cuts and ephedrine, which is kind of my version of eca.

Seen great results with this exact combo last year. I've heard over and over again that it's an overkill (t3 and eph) but I tried each separately and tried them together and results don't even compare.

No real sides, except when I need to "wake up" and take eph. pre-workout. It makes me nauseous. This used to be just fine in the past, but this time around not so much, don't know why...
