    Well, like I had said in my previous posts I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis diagnosed at age 17, so I'm on levothyroxine 125 mcg/ed for at least three years now (have been using thyroid medication for almost 14 years). The last blood test showed this: TSH apx. 3.6, FT4 apx. 16, FT3 apx. 3.3. I upped my medication by myself for the purpose of getting TSH in the healthier range: 1 - 2. So for the time being I'm on 125 mcg/ed excepting Monday and Friday (187.5 mcg). So far haven't experienced any anxiety, nervousness, fast heart rate, palpitations, sweating, etc. The good things are I have more energy, the mood has lifted.
    The question is should I try a "bodybuilding dose" of t4 during my upcoming test prop/ proviron aas cycle to get even more benefit of the cycle? If the answer is yes how should the dosage plan look like? Also I excluded t3 because it's more potent and I am afraid of significant fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels, possible cardiovasular problems, getting too agitated, etc.
    Thank you in advance!
    Your t3 levels are going to probably be fine if taking 125mcg t4 w all those androgens

    So, there is no need for the dosage adjustment to maintain TSH levels optimal?

    Thank you, fiddlesticks: I think I will stick with this regimen, don't wanna get too drastic fluctuations in my TSH levels!
