t3 questions ??

[Valkyrie]

As pointed out... tapering off isn't necessary. Why that is still so heavily recommended is beyond me. Prepare to feel flat constantly once your dose gets up there. For me past 75mcg and I get flat regardless of the juice i'm on (unless i hike carbs WAY up).Prepare to feel warm and sweaty a lot, on the bright side this will let you know it's working. Prepare to experience shortness of breath quicker during cardio/lifting sessions. Fat loss is good on t3, but i personally prefer something like clen + a hardener steroid + tren/test and maybe GH. T3 you have to be so careful with... Too much and you can lose valuable hard earned muscle FAST. Even when on a cycle.

I go to the best thyroid doctor in the country. The taper is his advice (theoretical) for anyone using t3 for contest prep.

You will feel better that way, but in terms of recovery, it only prolongs it. I suppoose whether or not to taper is a matter of what is the most important to the user.

There is absolutely NO NEED to taper once you decide you want to go off. In fact, it is a BAD idea. Gradually reducing your T3 dosage does NOT result in a quicker recovery...it prolongs it by exposing the body to the suppressive effect of the drug for a longer period of time. Just like with AAS, the body will not begin to recover its own production of T3 until exogenous T3 is eliminated...or nearly so.

We also used to believe that tapering steroids was the right thing to do. Bro-science claimed that by gradually reducing the dose, the body would not be exposed to a rapid decline in hormone levels and therefore, would escape the "shock" of a hormonal dive-bomb. In terms of recovery, we also thought that if we gradually reduced the dose, it would "prepare" the body for producing its own testosterone by more subtly bringing our hormone levels back to normal.

However, what we didn't understand at that time is that steroids, even at low dosages, still retain their strong suppressive influence on the HPTA. By gradually reducing the dosage, all we were accomplishing was making recovery take even longer! It is the same with T3. If we want to recover from exogenous T3 as quickly as possible, we must eliminate T3 completely, all at once. This way, the thyroid gland is forced to resume production at full force, as it attempts to correct the deficiency. If we graudally reducing the dose, the body doesn't have any sense of urgency when it comes to restoring maximal production, as it is still being supplied with exogenous T3.

In conclusion, when you are ready to end your cycle, do NOT taper. Tapering with T3 is a myth...100% bro-science with no scientific validation. You should treat T3 just like you treat AAS...get in, hit it hard and when you're done...you're done. None of this fucking around, gradually reducing your dose bullshit.



It is also a myth that using T3 beyond 9 weeks will permanently shutdown one's natural production. Studies have shown that even a full replacment dose of T3 taken for nearly a year did not result in permamant suppression, with users experiencing a full recovery within a relatively short period of time after discontinuing exogneous T3. In the real-world, numerous individuals have run T3 for extended period of time and experienced a full recovery after just a few months. Still, in my opinion, T3 is not a drug which should be used long-term just for the hell of it.



As far as tapering from the start of the cycle, this is generaly a good idea if you plan of going above 50 mcg per day. At doses of 50 mcg and under, a taper is not needed. If you don't know what dose is ideal for you, it is wise to start on the lower end and gradually work up as needed. If you start off higher than what you need, it could negatively affect lean mass retention.

Ok what if i have hypo thyroid and im already taking 100mcg daily of L-throxine to maintain normal levels. Would it still be ok to add T3 up to 80mcg and still be ok?

More isn't necessarily always better with t3. I'd start at 25mcg (on top of your 100mcg of l-throxine) and see how that goes, and if needed slowly up it from there. Better to slowly up it with t3, very easy to lose weight fast if you use too much. And it won't be just fat with t3 typically, even on cycle if i use too much i lose some muscle and i flatten out baddd. 75mcg seems to be my personal sweet spot

Thanks a lot might give that a try.

Don't forget that t3 is very catabolic great advice ITT to not take any more than the least amount that gets results.

You can monitor your temperture while on T3. Normal temp is 98.6. Some thyroid docs use T3 in short intervels to folks who average a degree or two lower temps. They have success in getting the endogenous T3 to ramp back up. You can read about it at wilsonsyndrome.com
