Hi all!

I read the stickies but I'm a little confused. I have 3 questions:

1) On T3:

I understand that there is no evidence that T3 will permanently shut down one's thyroid glands. So some suggests that there is no need to taper off from its use.

I am coming off this position.

I have read old articles recommending cycle durations ranging from 3-6 weeks with half of said period allocated for tapering off T3. Now, since there is no need to to taper off, what will be a good cycle duration for T3? 4 weeks? Or does it basically mean that I can run it for as long as I like?

2) On clen and EC (Ephedrine and Caffeine):

I have both clen and EC.

I have read old articles that clen should be used 2 weeks on/2 weeks off since it loses its effectiveness after 2 weeks.

As such, I thought I'd just run the EC for 2 weeks while off clen. But I read posts that it's not advisable as they target the same betareceptors.

Can someone confirm this?

I want to be on either clen or EC for the duration of the T3. So should I just stay on clen for the duration of the T3 and just take antihistamine like benadryl for a week if ever I decide to use clen for more than 2 weeks, and just put the EC on the shelf for later use?

3) Post T3:

Is it true that immediately after stopping intake of T3, neither clen or EC should be used so as to promote bounce back of thyroid gland performance? If yes, for how long should I refrain from using either clen or EC before I can use them again?

Thanks in advance.
