[QUOTE="1Draw, post: 98501, member: 12868"] Shitn your labs are identical to mine and I too was coming off a round of several antibiotics to clear up a severe sinus infection in January. I have no energy at all, trouble sleeping, feeling cold, etc. all the symptoms. Dr Calkins at Defy tested only the following: Thyroxine T-4 Serum 7.6 Range 4.2 - 13.0 Free T 4 0.97 .8 - 1.7 Reverse T3 Serum 28.1 9.2 - 24.1 During consult yesterday he is prescribing the T3 only medication Liiothyronine 5mcg. He said to start out taking 1 in the morning 30 minutes before food and 1 at night for 2 weeks and, if symptoms do not improve, go to 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Give it 2 weeks and if no improvement go to 3 2xday and on until symptoms improve. He said if I take too much, I will have anxiety, feeling hot, excessive heart beat, etc. Then fall back to previous dose. We are going to test levels again in 3 months to see where they are and how I feel. I think from what I have read that I will know when I have the dosages correct by the way I feel. So his protocol is 5mcg 2 x day to begin with then go up from there if no improvements in 2 weeks. Your starting dose may be a bit too much for the slow reduction of RT3. Also, Liiothyronine is a very powerful drug and may not need as much as other RT3 lowering drugs. Good luck and let us know how you are feeling in a couple of weeks. [/QUOTE]
