Anyone using T3 year round?

[tr]

Is anyone using T3 year round with GH? What dosage? What are the experience after soming off? Does T3 shuts down you own production of thyroid if using too long?

Why would you want to go year around?

Not sure why you would want to be on year-round but there have been studies of people who were misdiagnosed as being hypothyroid and put on thyroid hormone replacement for as long as 30 years. When the medication was withdrawn, their thyroids returned to normal within the same timeframe (around 2 weeks) as those dosing only a few days, so length of time on doesn't appear to affect function or recovery mate. Here are a few studies as example........

I'm using GH/peptides year round and these supress thyroid function

Thanks a lot!

How long? Have ever tried to drop T3 for a while?

I've been on t-3 for about 2yrs now. I've gone up to as much as 150mcg day but for very short periods of time. I've dropped it for a few weeks due to running out once, couldnt tell that much of a difference mainly because I am perpetually lethargic at 10iu gh a day. This may sound a bit cavalier, but I look at the t-3 use like I do testosterone. If/when I come off, IF things dont return to normal I will just suppliment it for life.

I use thyroid year round with hgh.My lowest dose is 25mcg and the highest i go is 150mcg.

Old thread bump - only bc I was looking into a T3 run and thought this was crazy.

Should give @Xplicit a shout. He takes more t3 than anyone I’ve ever seen

lol. Thanks for the heads up!

On this lab results, was in t 3 five weeks...It took my thyroid panel 5-6weeks after stopping t3 to get into normal ranges.

It took sister the same 5-6weeks, after coming off T4 for two years...

t4 doesn't stop the pancreas from working so what's strange about it

I have been using T3 for about 11 years non-stop with a small break for experimentation, after about 8 years of continuous use - 3 weeks after discontinuation my thyroid function was completely normal.

Frank Zane used "thyroidals", he didnt say if it was t4 or t3 for many years , while competing, without a break. He couldnt get his in normal ranges after many tests, for whatever reason. He had to go on thryoid replacement for life.

I will be on TRT or rather (HRT lol) for the rest of my life so honestly it doesn't matter to me if I have to take an additional t3/t4 tablet for the rest of my life - I have no problem with it

Glad your thyroid bounces back in three weeks.

I try to take as little drugs as possible , within reason , to enhance life bc want quality and would be nice to make it to a healthy 80 .

For example if on vacation may let loose on some fun stuff Dorian and Chris Cornier do. This isn't often though and responsible and fun to do with open minded girlfriend

. Understand we've all got to cross the river of life someday. Want it to be best life can be.

Luki, I always look forward to your posts and appreciate the information you share.
I'm interested in your reasoning for running t3 year round. Is it because of gh usage, to increase protein synthesis, maybe just so you always know it's in a normal range?

Does T3 raise blood pressure if kept at lower dose

High dose gh mainly
