How long can you stay on T3 @ 75mcg/day?

[Spacey]

I am trying to figure out how much T3 to use for fat loss as part of my recomp cycle of test and tren. I plan to start at 50mcg, but I have read that people go as high as 100mcg. Assuming I were to increase the T3 to 75mcg at some point, how long can I stay on at that dose? There are reports of people staying on T3 at 50mcg for years without any long-term side effects (although I don't plan to try it myself), but I am not aware of similar studies at higher doses.

I've read of peeps who start at 25mcg and work their way up. Also read here that some feel 50mcg is the sweet spot. As for how long, I would say 6 weeks not more than 8 max.

I think I've read from HI that you can stay on that for up to 10 months or so and as long as your thyroid was healthy when you got on it, it should be back to normal in a few days. then, come off for a few months and pop back on.

Hmm, interesting, any dosing protocols to share? I have some and always use it for very short periods at a time, never more than 10 days! I guess I'm short changing myself. Nothing like a post to justify your drug use, lol...

I'll make an educated guess and say dosing to range between 75-100mcg.

Well, from what I have read of HI's posts... it is useless to take 25mcg because it basically cancels out what the body produces and puts you at zero. So, the minimum you would take would be 50... 75 would be ok and you might get flat at 100.

exactly except for the first couple days start at 25mcg and ramp up since you will till be producing your own for a bit before it gets shut down and replaced by what you are giving it

Thanks guys, but HI's posts, as far as I could tell, only referred to 50mcg/day. My question is about 75mcg/day for extended periods.

Check out the chem profiles section. I'm pretty sure the thread on cytomel supports the 10 months on, 2-3 months off protocol mentioned above.

I guess I should take a gander, but user feedback since we're on the topic would still be nice!

definitely, that's what I'm after, too!

I just mentioned that thread because you said you had never heard of taking T3 long term, and that's where I learned about it. but real feedback, especially at the higher doses, would be great.

He actually says you can take 75mg/day too

Just might get flattened out and should be running some sort of anabolic or be eating a lot more food.

Because t3 not only speeds up fat metabolism, but also protein synthesis, etc. So, it could be real easy to burn muscle if you aren't getting enough food.

Thanks for the info! I guess I missed that part. sounds like 50mcg/day is what he recommends for recomposition

As big sexy states it comes down to the food you consume and your activity level,t3 is calorie waster,not exactly a fat burner

Its user dependent. 50 works perfect for me (I have had labs twice at this dose) but I do use 75 for shorter runs (a few weeks). 100 is too much for my tastes.

I think for the average guy there is little sense in running T3 for more than 3 months. If you can't diet down in 3 months something is very wrong with training or nutrition. However I have run T3 longer.

This would be how some bodybuilders I know out here eat shit all the time and are lean compared to what they eat eh?

absolutely, but if it's not harmefull why not run it longer is what I'm thinking. I don't know gonna have to read up more/think this over a bit. I also don't really need it being an ecto, but during bulk phases it could assist you in a sense so that when it comes time to diet, well, you have less to lose making it even easier to get in shape was how I was seeing it....
