[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 227506, member: 42608"] You could always try changing the timing or dosing of the thyroid meds. I do better with smaller hits of them spread out, which in my case probably means I’m using them for stimulation more than anything else, but I react very differently when I take things in the morning or night or whatever. Thyroid meds also make my handling of macros very differently. Recently tried lowering carbs while on T3 and I felt like death. I know why but I wasn’t expecting to feel that bad. I will say I usually notice thyroid meds very quickly, but that’s also in my case probably because what I’m noticing isn’t the thyroid part. There’s no data on it but theoretically it could be possible that high RT3 could cause that. Being on T3 makes me feel like what most guys would feel like on the amount of test I’m on. Without that, not so much. Recently tried dropping T3 and it didn’t go well. First day of adding it back, I was horny as hell and all girls were pretty. Part of what test does is effect nutrition partitioning, and if your thyroid hormones are out of whack, you won’t be able to get the right things in and out of the right cells. That’s the naturopathic theory anyway, and there are scattered studies that indirectly support that. T3 also seems to raise 5AR, so more DHT. Anecdotally, I have low free T3 and am on TRT. If I take T3, in a dose dependent manner I feel like a caricature of a guy on a bunch of test would feel like. T3 itself in my case isn’t kind to my dick and makes it less able to retain blood, but it makes a lot else work as it should. Also seems to require more salt, which goes with that theory since T3 increases sodium potassium pump sites. On T3 with more salt I become more hydrated, off it with more salt I just pee it out and become more dehydrated, which is in line with the mechanisms of it found in studies. Adrenaline theoretically is higher under stress without cortisol because if it wasn’t you’d have no way to deal with it. I used to feel that way before bed when my cortisol dipped too low. I’d be anxious as hell and unable to sleep all night when you’d normally be your most relaxed and tired. There’s no data on it raising RT3 in the absence of cortisol but it would be raised alongside all conditions that would increase RT3, so theoretically it may be possible. [/QUOTE]
