This is a link to the AACE guidelines for clinical and subclinical hypo and
hyperthyroidism..... an interesting read for those thining about Synthroid, Armour,
generic or other exogeneous T3, T4, or combination therapy..
http://www.aace.com/clin/guidelines/hypo_hyper.pdf
I have a sluggish thryoid myself.... I'd really like to hear people's stories with
actual FT3,FT4, and/or TSH titers showing their short term use of these meds and
where they brought theri #s too and what if any cardiac effects they had and whether
they had hypo effects on the back end..... the hypo induced depression isn't something I want to
contend with..
My #1 observation going on 40mcg of T3 for 3 weeks was how easy it was to get up in the morning.
this was a new thing for me..... I don't think I lost any weight or gained any muscle though.. I slept
for the better part of 2 days when I came off.... shifted hypo I think......
TSH went 1.61 ---> 1.1 in 3wk ----> 3-weeks off-- its back to 1.71...
FT4 only shifted 0.90 ---> 0.99...
I would enjoy hearing others experiences ... quantitative would be great..
