Cytomel Reviews
Working / Worked
I started Synthroid right after TT but my endo wanted me to stop that and take Cytomel for 2 weeks as I get ready for RAI. So far so good. I felt dizzy this morning and wondered if it was from stopping the Synthroid 125 mcg daily and starting the Cytomel 25 mcg twice a day this morning. *** UPDATE *** Cytomel worked fine. I felt pretty good while on it.

I was on a really small dose. I think I might have been better with a larger dose. My new endo took me off it completely.

I took it to prepare for a body scan requiring synthroid to be out of my body.

Surgeon took me off Cytomel today for one week. Hormone levels too HIGH. Then back, but only 25mg until radiotherapy.
No side effects, maybe a bit more energy; could be due to high levels.

I take 50 mcg/day - Before Cytomel I was tired, sluggish, 'brain fog', and gaining weight. I lost 40 lbs. and feel wonderful now.
