Exactly. 50 is around where people stop. Some competitors go up to 75'ish but id never condone it. At 15mcg my temp raises, at 25 i am around 100 degrees in body temp. If its real, its real lo

At this does with the anabolics, I had little to no muscle loss and did not go completely flat as long as I was getting enough carbs. Unlike anabolics, I tapered back down when coming off. I have had bloods done since and my thyroid function is completely normal, slightly high T3 and low end of range for TSH, just like it was before I cycled. Also worth noting that I used pharma T3 (cytomel) not RC stuff that is hard to dose (it's in mcgs) and might be underdosed, so bear that I mind when I talk about my doses, you may or may not have to use higher if you go the RC route.
Holy crap, 50mcg is not low to start out on t3. If your t3 is legit 15 or 20 will make you toasty warm starting off.l
I'm pretty sure what I was using was cytomel so pharma grade there. I agree it was a high dose, my first cycle I started at 12.5mcg, and actually felt substantially worse, cold in the morning and sluggish. I upped it to 25 and felt kind of normal but a little down, 50 effects were noticeable.
I was describing my 2nd cycle, when I started at 50, (I might have done a day or two at 25) and went up to 125mcg, but mostly stayed at 100, fat melted off very quickly, very noticeable changes in the mirror daily, only sides were high body temp, rapid heart rate and constant thirst and hunger. I tried 150mcg once but gave that up real quick, serious cardiac sides, very high and sometimes irregular heart rate, feeling dizzy, totally did not feel safe training and did not do so. Others have told me that is a high dose, but I honestly felt pretty good on 100, its possible what I had was under dosed, but it definitely was not bunk. I also don't know how or why someone would underdose cytomel pills (they looked like other cytomel pills I've seen), T3 is pretty cheap, it is worth noting I got the same stuff for both cycles from the same guy IRL. Also, I have high thyroid function to begin with my 'natty' temp is 99 and my TSH has always been extremely low and my T3 very high when I'm not on the exogenous stuff, so maybe it took more to get to a replacement dose for me? Although I highly doubt I would need 2x what a normal person would max out at.
