T3! Dangerous?? Can you screw yourself up?

[windwords7]

I've always been real hesitant to use someting that messes with the thyroid. Is there chance of permanant damage? What are good first time dosages?

Thanks for your feedback?

Take a gander at this it should answer all your questions

This product usually comes in bottles of 100 tablets at 25 mcgs each. It is available in a variety of doses though ranging from 5 - 100 mcgs. per tablet. Cytomel is a synthetic thyroid hormone (Type T-3). There are two main types of synthetic thyroid hormones that are available being this and Synthroid (T-4). This product is regarded as the stronger of the two products (it is 4-5 times stronger than Synthroid). This product works by increasing the synthesis of protein, carbohydrates, and fats as wellas RNA in the body thereby increasing your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). Bodybuilders love this product for many reasons. This product is an excellent fat burner since your metabolism is greatly increased while being on it. You can afford to be a little sloppier on precontest dieting since it will still burn fat when you are taking in a lot of calories since your metabolism is going haywire. Step over Ripped Fuel, E/C/A stack, Thermadrine. When taken with clenbuterol, this is the single best fat burning combination that is available today (with the possible exception of DNP). I am not too big on death or a coma either though. It also helps to make steroids more effective since it is such a good aid for protein synthesis. Well, as per the usual with something that works this well there is always a price. If you **** up with this one you will learn to love it very quickly as you will be taking it for the rest of your life. Make sure you don't jump into big doses right off the bat and cycle down to smaller doses when you are coming down as well. Most people would be advised to have their thyroid functioning checked by a doctor to make sure that they don't have a hyperthyroid already. Don't say I did not warn you about this first if the **** hits the fan. Symptoms and side effects include tremors in the hands, heart palpitations, diarrhea, weight loss, nausea, very high perspiration (to be expected if it is working), and headaches. Most of the time you can reduce or eliminate these side effects by cutting back on the dosage a little bit. Also, if you are taking insulin at the same time you are taking this product, keep in mind that it will reduce the effectiveness of insulin or any oral insulin products as well such as metformin or phenformin. Just remember that this product will work best on a steroid cycle and you need to keep your protein intake very high since this product metabolizes protein as well.

Effective Dose: Most people need to be careful to start with a low dosage, about 25 mcgs. per day and increase by about one tab or 25 mcgs. per day every 5-6 days. Make sure that you don't go over 100 mcgs. per day at the very most. On days that you take multiple tabs, divide the tabs evenly across the day (i.e. 100 mcgs. would be 4 doses of 25 mcgs. apiece spread evenly across the day.) You also need to make sure that you cycle down off this product as well to keep the thyroid functioning properly as well. Don't take for more than 5 weeks at a time as well. After doing a cycle of this drug, make sure you go at least 8 weeks before doing it again as to allow normal thyroid functioning to return.

Yeah that stuff does look great. I am still concerned, even after reading the post, about using it though......I will continue to research a bit here.

sounds good. It's nice to hear someone say they'll research something before taking it

Don't be a wuss...Use it


Seriously the "danger" is way overblown. I used to think it could shut down your thyroid but research shows that not one person clinically has had this happen. Rumors have it Frank Zane has to take it for the rest of his life due to overuse but don't know if there is any truth to it. I couldn't find anything on the net that confirms it. Just like everything, if you use it the proper way its perfectly fine. Nandi seems to know the most about this so you can ask him to come over and post on the subject.

Check this out bro, Nandi's article over at Avant about it:

L-thyroxine overdose: a case of marked, severe, prolonged, excess ingestion and review of the literature.

Shapiro B, Gross MD, Geatti O.

Division of Nuclear Medicine, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor 48109-0028.

A case of a man with thyroid cancer who ingested between 0.9 and 3.3 mg l-thyroxine per day for over 10 years (the highest dose for 3 years) is reported. This had been prescribed for suppression of TSH for a well differentiated thyroid cancer. He was essentially asymptomatic and suffered no apparent ill effects from this prolonged and markedly excessive dosage of l-thyroxine. The literature lists a wide range of ill effects from both chronic and acute thyroid hormone overdosage but also records many examples of tolerance to excessive levels of exogenous thyroid hormone. The various circumstances leading to thyroid hormone overdose and potential ill-effects are reviewed.

This was taken from Nandi's article.

In 1951, Greer reported the pattern of recovery of thyroid function after stopping suppressive treatment with thyroid hormone in euthyroid [normal] subjects based on sequential measurements of their thyroidal uptake of radioiodine. He observed that after withdrawal of exogenous thyroid therapy, thyroid function, in terms of radioiodine uptake, returned to normal in most subjects within two weeks. He further observed that thyroid function returned as rapidly in those subjects whose glands had been depressed by several years of thyroid medication as it did in those whose gland had been depressed for only a few days
