I have read a lot about T3, and I cant decide if I want to do a cycle. And please before you tell me to search, try to search T3 for yourself, and see that there are no results. Kind of strange.

First of all, I dont understand why the Thryoid is so touchy, when the human body is so good a recovering from other drugs. I've heard of people having problems from small T3 cycles, less than 4 weeks. Is it really that dangerous to slowly taper up, run at 75mcg or so for a week, then slowly taper down again? My mother takes Synthroid, so there may be thyroid problems in my genes.

Use the bottom search option for short word searches as well as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

As far as the risk? That's something you'll have to decide after weighing in the factors and your goals and health etc.
If you have concerns of your tyroid just hit the docs and have blood work done. And you can always just stimulate your metabolism through exercise and diet.

It's not for me.

I haven't used T3 yet, but based on the sticky I posted in the cycle info forum (which is obviously not a complete perspective on T3), it seems that if used in moderation, it should be okay.

[Ubiquitous]

If used correctly, it's perfectly fine, and useful.

Like all great things, use it with moderation and exercise caution at all times. Sesamin or TTA may also be helpful in preventing any sort of fat burning issues after discontinuing T3

I cant decide for myself, which is why I started the thread. You read so many different opinions, I was hoping to hear from experienced T3 users. I dont really have concerns about my Thyroid, but I've heard from people requiring 10mcg T3 a day after coming off a mild T3 cycle. Im dont want to play with fire and get burned. Is messing up the thyroid of an average person really that much of a risk?
Also, diet and exercise will of course be part of a T3 cycle if I do one. For me using a fat loss aid will be like a hard gainer using steroids. Its easy for me to tell a hard gainer to lift and eat, and you will grow. Its easy for them to tell me dont eat and run and you will shrink. I've lost a lot of weight, and now Im stuck in a rut. My body just does not want to lose any more, so Im thinking of trying T3 to get the fat loss going again. My concern is suppressing my thryroid, which could lead to packing the pounds right back on. Maybe i could finish up the T3 cycle with some ECA.

If you are at a plateau, then try using Sesamin and TTA. Your bodies ability to oxidize FFA's may be a little low since you have lost a lot of weight. Or if you are still feeling risky, then you could always go with clen.

Clen Scares me. I do have albuterol though.

I like T3 but would not use it without an Anabolic. I have had no problems with weight rebound upon cessation but I think I take the necessary precautions. For one, I make sure to taper out the T3 and remain on an Anabolic through any crash thus converting any anabolism from a metabolism crash into muscle vs. fat. And B, I take thyroid supporting supps like L-Tyrosine and 7-oxo to help kickstart natty levels. I logged my last run, check it out:

Post #54 is where T3 starts.

^^^ word to your mama

[jcam222]

From what I understand the thyroid gland is one of the most resilient in the body. I have seen studies posted of people who were on thyroid medication long term mistakenly who upon cessation had full recoveries of natural thyroid performance. There for me at least is undoubteldy a period of time after coming off T3 that I feel sluggish and prone to weight gain. I just plan around that now and up the cardio and a mild stim or even extra coffee.

T3 worked wonders for me.....18lbs in 2 months, and I've kept off 16. I however was trying to cut a little muscle as well as fat. Worked great for me though.

Did you run it the full 2 months?
