    200mcg is pretty common and pretty safe. id hit 150 for a few days or so first then up to 200.

    that may not be the best fix for your situation but its my answer to your question.

    the t4 will have an effect on your metabolism bit its only a part of it. you wont know how much it will do until you try it.

    yes i went to 2 days on 150 and then 200...

    metabolism definately has increased...hunger has came back.

    im on a intermittent fasting schedule right now. 10 pm - 6pm fasting 6 pm-10 pm eating time.

    figured i just go on 200 till next saturday...then lower to the dose to 150 for 2-3 days and back to 100.

    thats all fine but you can stay on 200mcg a lot longer than you plan if you wanted. when are you ending your diet? id stay up there for at least a month then taper it back down if its still withing the diet time. and like s2h is saying. your going to want to take the t4 before the main eating time. like an hour before.

    I take it first thing every morning on empty stomache...i will try switching it too an hour before 6 pm then, since that is the start of my feeding time.

    I might stay on a little longer at that dose....ill see how the week goes.

    how was your overall weight loss?
    how about your energy level?
    did you get jittery as you increased the dose?

    thanks
