Cytomel T3: Day 5

[workoutfreak078]

Well, I am on my fifth day of Cytomel T3 and upped my dosage to 50mcg. I was wondering, though, when I was on 25mcg, from the 2nd day to the 4th, everytime I would bend down to pick something up I felt as if I would get a headache. When I got up, though, it would go away, but I did get small headaches every now and again. Is that normal?

Also, I weigh myself every 2 weeks so I will give you guys some results at the end of next week.

Also, last night, I ate a pretty big dinner because I went out to a restaurant for a special occasion. I ate healthy, but more than usual. After the meal, I felt like I had heat radiating from my body. Would that also be from the T3?

My throat also feels a bit more sensitive. I was just wondering if this is all normal and safe from T3.

ive never gotten any of those sides. especially at 25mcg-50mcg it isnt a large dose.
the headache thing sounds maybe like high blood pressure? check your diet make sure you're eating enough. what are you running with the t3?

Never done T3 but the throat sensitivity probably means your Thyroid is kicking into overdrive. A Vet with more experience than I have can confirm this.

I did Synthroid before and felt throat sensitivity. Keep us posted on your progress as I have possible access to T3 for use in near future.

I am currently running 550mg of Sustanon 250 and 750mg of Equipoise with the Cytomel T3. I just reached the end of the fifth week and I am doing a 16 week cycle (also want to add that this stuff works amazing. I am getting compliments left and right by everyone I meet).

Not sure though, I would not really call these side effects seeing as how they are extremely minor, and they might just be in my mind. I have a tendency to over-think and I could just be imagining most of the sides. I took my temperature this morning and it was 97.1, which is actually pretty cold.

Also, I am not too sure about my blood pressure. I have an extremely clean diet, but I plan on getting my blood pressure checked soon just to see if everything is in order.

I am also going to get Clenbuterol and do 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off through the rest of my cycle.

I am 6'1, weigh 240lbs, and have between 18% and 20% body fat. So yeah, I have quite a bit of fat to lose, but I think I can shed most of it, if not all of it, by the summer.

You are imagining hot-flashes and headaches??? Sounds like my mother-in-law.

....at a loss for words other than that.......... .... . . . . .

The Real Stuff

All your symptoms are normal for taking T3 and that's how you know it's real and working. Your thyroid gland is in your throat so it will feel abnormal when you are taking something to over stimulate it. Your body temp is what burns cals, so you will get the hot flashes the whole time you are on it.

Clen-aches

I had killer headaches, minor hair loss, shakiness, and sometimes nausea while taking Clen so I don't know what everyone was on but that is what I have been told was normal for Clen.

Did you lose any weight though? If so, how much? And in how long?

I am thinking about doing a 3 week on and 3 week off Clen cycle, instead of the two week one, but I hear the sides are much easier to get, and more annoying than T3's.

Is Clen worth it? Did it work well for you?

Clen worked great for me. Lost a lot of bodyfat. Had virtually no side effects other than the normal jitters (less than when using ephedra)and I would sweat a lot. I pushed the upper limits on dosage also. I've never known Clen to cause hair loss not to say it couldn't happen. The side effects to worry about are its effect on the cardiovascular system. Do a baseline vitals BP, Pulse, temperature prior to starting and keep acheck on it. If it increases significantly (I would say over 10 pts) discontinue and take a break. Dizziness and feeling faint is also a symptom of high Bp so watch that.

as you stated 3 wk on/off should work although most recommend 2 on/off

Okay, thanks a lot for the information. What symptom did you say should not increase by 10 points? The temperature, pulse, or blood pressure? Or was it all three?

I'm not too worried though, my body does not get many sides, it's just the way I am. So far I am on 75mcg of the T3 and I am not sweating or anything. I have definitely shed some body fat though.

BP....thats being conservative........you'll probably go above that and not care....assuming you had normal BP to begin with......just watch your BP and you'll be fine

 

[cherigo18cdz]

I was also doing Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) while doing the clen and synthroid to avoid muscle loss.....thought i should add that in

 

[cherigo18cdz]

Read the sticky on T3 if you havent already......there is a multitude of info out there on clen as well......
