[QUOTE="VacationMan, post: 206355, member: 12425"] Keep in mind that liothyronine (generic Cytomel) has a half life of roughly 4 hours. You may feel better by split dosing it - i.e. 5 mcg in the morning, then another 5 mcg mid-afternoon. If you feel jittery (like you've had too much coffee), then you're taking too much and probably should cut back. By all means, reach out to your physician/PA at Defy and discuss before doing anything! For me, I had to add Cytomel to my daily meds to "normalize" TSH. I'm having to take 10 mcg daily to combat lowish T3 due to high RT3...in addition to taking levothyroxine (generic Synthroid - the T4 drug). My PCP was taking care of my thyroid prescriptions and refused to increase liothyronine for me. My PA at Defy helped me in this regard. So far, I'm feeling great on this protocol. There again, everyone's condition is different and this isn't a shoe that will fit all feet so... I'm split dosing liothyronine - 5 mcg in the morning, 5 mcg mid afternoon. I sleep like a rock, no racing heart, no jitter...and...I don't "poop out" mid afternoon now. Thyroid issues, especially Hashimoto's, are not fun! [/QUOTE]
