hey guys! I need ur help please! I have done 2 t3 cycles. both 8 weeks with first week ramping up n last week ramping down, max dose was 125 mcg. relusts were great. both times lost 15 lbs. but the rebound effect was terrible! my diet is clean all the time, no cheat meals, about 1800-2000 calories a day, low carb. I work out 6 times a week. crossfit. I noticed the rebound the second week i was off. and in a month i gained 15 lbs back! Like every morning I visibly had more fat! Now it's been a month since I stopped the cycle and I gained all the weigh I lost back n my weight gain doesn't stop. one week after the end of cycle my t3 n t4 were low ( blood test) but now they r normal (got results yesterday) and I still keep packing on weight at a scary rate. I really don't know what to do. I took 6 months off before first and second cycle and gained more than I lost. So I guess I'll wait two more weeks ( which will make it 6 weeks break) and start t3 again. I really need your ideas guys!!!
 
So you're experiencing the weight rebound with T3, don't have a plan to prevent it from happening again, and you're still planning on using t3 again in the near future? How does that make any sense?

Are you running anything else with the T3? And have you had a thyroid panel run before and after you cycles to make sure everything is back to normal?

She posted in that thread too lol.

You're probably experiencing the rebound weight gain bc you're not tapering down the dosage at the end and its taking a while for your natural thyroid output to come back. What are your stats and what does your diet look like?

I agree. Back in the day when I was cycling T3, I also noticed that when I got off, it was crucial that I cut carbs really low. I could eat a slice of pizza for dinner and put on a pound of fat. Lower those carbs and see if that helps. Might have to do a keto or carb cycle diet and until your thyroid bounces back. I have yet to see a thyroid permanently shut down from T3 usage but it will be sluggish when you first get off. I wouldn't imagine it would take you more than 10 weeks to recover. Diet is crucial here. How many carbs are you eating per day?
