That's a fair assessment along with sage advice and not something I would play with again. As a quick disclaimer, I recently found out I have Hashimoto's disease. Quick google search will tell you all you need to know.Yes and no
Before I go on I must say I am not an expert on thyroid. But i have done my own reading and use and have a good idea of how t3 works.
For starters you want to start low (25mcg) and work up to assess tolerance and determine what is the max dose you need to do the job.
Allowing your levels to swing wildly results in side effects ranging from body temp fluctuations to generally feeling like dog shit to hypo/hyperthyroid.
I gotta say that t3 is probably the WORST chemical method of fat loss out of the usual suspects. I would rather my teeth chatter and heart explode from clenbuterol that take t3 again. Shit will rip thru tissues without discriminating. You could lose quite a bit of muscle.

I used T3 in the past, had worked up to using 80mcg's daily. I was planning a month long run of it to cut down a few pounds and in the middle of all that I had decided to kick off a cycle. Took my last dose of T3 on Saturday and pinned on Sunday morning. Sunday just after lunch we had to make a grocery run and I started feeling jittery.....like more than some caffeine jittery, I thought I was going to explode. 8 terrifying and grueling hours later it finally calmed down with my thyroid swollen visibly in my neck with all the anxiety that comes along with it. Not many people have ever had this type of reaction but I know what happened to me, I'll never try it again.

Thanks for the response HWC but I'm a little confused. Wouldn't that mean that you have a underactive thyroid and isn't Hashimoto's disease treated with T3?
I have an underactive thyroid and that's the only reason I'm considering taking it.
You working with a good Endo on this?
Great way to tell on this are watching your TSH over time along with thyroid specific antibodies. Took me a long time to figure out wtf was wrong with me. I'm in the hypo stage now, hoping it doesn't get to a point where it progresses to thyroid removal.Hashimoto starts out hyperthyroid as it leaks hormones. Then over time you wind up hypothyroid.
If you have an underactive thyroid meaning clinically hypo then let the doctor manage this.
That is correct. At the time I was unaware of my condition and was not on T3 of any sort from the doc. Mismanaging and abusing T3 on my own actually led me to find out what my problem was.Thanks for the response HWC but I'm a little confused.

I have a gram of T3 in the freezer I'm planning on brewing up and treating myself with. Thanks for the insight, I'll just take it slow to be on the safe side then.
Do you not have health insurance? I wouldn't self medicate for thyroid issues. Go to a doctor. T3 is dirt cheap from a pharmacy.
LMFAO that's like a lifetime supply brother
There's many reasons why I'm not doing that, just to name a few. My health insurance sucks, Doctor around here is a total moron, any other doctor is 1 hour away, I don't want to argue about which drug to prescribe and what dosage or have anyone having any say over my body other than me, don't know how much a prescription would be but no way it's cheaper than the powder I already got.
I will still go to that doctor's office to get my blood test done and will take HWC and POB advice to increase the dosage slowly and will probably go every week or two for blood test until I find my sweet spot.
