Suppressed Thyroid

[muscle_geek]

A girl that works out in my circle at the gym has taken high amounts of T3 for a few months (125mcg/ED). We didn't know she was taking it so we weren't able to advise her. She finally told us and she has a fear that when she comes off her thyroid might be completely suppressed for a long time. She is an amateur competitor and she's worried about a fat rebound. She has anavar and has used it before. Will that help with metabolism and fat rebound during the time the thyroid will be recovering. Can anyone advise what she be done in these circumstances? She knows she was stupid, but now needs some solid advice. I don't really no what to tell her.

Well the most important thing is to taper down that will help with any rebound. Secondaly she has to eat very clean and start hitting cardio if she hasn't done that already. I like to use an ECA or clen when I get off of T3.

ECA and Clen sounds like a good idea. Would Anavar assist in the process? Or would Anavar be a waste in the state she's in where her thryroid is most likely not going to be doing anything for her for a while? She already does tons of cardio.

As far as the thyroid goes I dont belive anavar will assist with recovery. When you say she was on for a couple of months how long are talking here. I ve seen ppl run it up to 8 weeks. Did she taper it up?

She tapered up, but not down. Maybe she should get some more T3 and taper down slowly before coming off.

I definitely agree with the tapering idea. have her slowly start ramping the dose back down, and she should be okay when she comes off. If she just drops it cold, then no amount of fat burners will save her, she'll be a fat ass

just so I dont make the same mistake, I am on 50mg of T3 right now and plan to go down to 25 for a week and then to 12.5 for another week. Do I have anything to worry about? Sorry to bust in on your thread.

That sounds fine. Should be little to no rebound.

doctros, I agree with captain wacky, your plan sounds good
