    Default t3 sickness

    I am trying t3 for the first time and i started at 60 mcg per day since it came in 20mcg doses. by the second day i started feeling sick and by the 5 th day i was seriously sick. my fever jumped to 102.7 even while taking tylenol like crazy. my resting heart rate was in the 110 range. my throat has has been hurting real bad. is all this happening because of the t3 dosage was to high? I also stopped taking it completely for 72 hours and was thinking about starting back at 20 mcg but im only about 90% well. my throat still hurts and im a little weak but my temp is normal.

    what is a normal range for body temperature that you want to be while on t3?

    I always pyramid up and down when using t3. My temp usually jump a degree or 2 while on t3 and clen. I think you should come off for awhile and see how you feel.

    Your body temp and HR can rise a touch on T3 but your symptoms sound like HIV. I would stop having sex with men.

    If you are educated in the medical field then look at the drug profile warnings and you will see that a sore throat is not likely from T3.

    Sometimes a little dizziness or body temp rise will happen at first along with an increase in HR.

    http://www.rxlist.com/cytomel-drug.htm

    If you want to be sure of the appropriate dose then get a thyroid test after you have been on T3 for a few weeks. I personally start with 50mcg's daily and feel a bit weird the first few days but nothing too bad.

    ok. thanks. yes i have read and researched thoroughly on cytomel and thryoid medications. I learned alot about them in school also. I just have never taken them. The reason why I mentioned my throat hurting so badly is because that is where the thyroid is located.

    sounds more like a coincidental illness. nothing wrong with starting with a 20mcg dose and ramp up to desired dose over 7-14 days. it will give you a better idea of how you are going to react. next time you'll know where to start.

    next time alternate tylenol and ibuprofen/motrin. take them alternately. tylenol is good for ~4 hours ibuprofen/motrin ~8 hours.

    Ya, sounds like it has nothing to do with the T3. Stay consistent with the dose and don't just jump off like that. Taper off of course. You should not be using this stuff as you are totally ignorant as to what it does and how to use it. Stick with OTC thermos ( like adderllin ) and do some more research.

    yeah i started at 60 mcg for 4 days and started getting sick after day 2. i then stopped for 2 days to let it get out of my system if i was doing to much. i took 20 mcg today and was going to stay at that dose for a week and then move up to 60 mcg at the max.

    thanks

    You dont know who your talking to. I have researched t3, cytomel, synthroid, armour over the years. I have read about it on the forums as well as in the PDR's. I know all about the OTC thermos and hate them. i dont do stimulants. Definetly not adderall if thats what your refering to. There is no more research for me to do except to ask real people their experiences and help. It is one thing to read and research something and another to experiment with your own body. Not to mention i am using a liquid research version which is a risk in and of itself. And all my symptoms seem to be related to this stuff. My increased body temperature, sweating, high fever, super increased resting heart rate. I have never felt like this before. This did not feel like a normal viral or bacterial infection. This is why i was posting on the board to see if anyone else has experienced this.

    thank you all for your advices.

    there is tons of literature out there on cytomel that talks about the throat swelling and feeling like you have a lump in it or closing up completely do to taking to much for your body. here is one link describing the side effects of cytomel. i copied and pasted the part about the throat. The thyroid is located in the throat. The thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body.

    http://www.ehow.com/about_5384448_cytomel-dangers.html

    Patients taking Cytomel may experience allergic reactions to the drug, which include vomiting, labored breathing, leg cramps, nervousness, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, hives, closing of the throat, chest pain and irregular heartbeat.

    Default t3

    I realized that I just took way to much to start with for my body. I even emailed one of the veterans on this forum (been in the bodybuilding industry for years) about it and he said 60 mcg to start with is way to much that you need to start with 20-25 mcg and work you way up and to never go above 50 mcg.

    anyway thanks for the responses and I will figure it out. im going back to 20 mcg per day for a week and then bump it up to 40 mcg and see how i feel.

    thanks for all the responses

    LOL, sounds like you have it all figured out. 50mcg's is a pretty conservative dose for a "veteran".
