T3 ok for 4 months?

[WarbirdWS6]

TweetT3 ok for 4 months at 25-50mcg a day on this cycle

-40 days winny 35mg ED, then 7 weeks EQ 500mg EW, then 40 days winny ED 35mg ED (basically 4 months)
-Test enanthate 500mg EW the whole way through 4 months.
-GH 2iu ED 5/2 split all the way through 4 months (using 1 month prior and 1 month post too for full 6 month usage).
-humulin R 8iu post w/o on w/o days only for the duration of 6 months.

was going to cycle the T3 during the winny months only...taking time off during the EQ months....but if i can run it 4 months straight to keep off some BF that would be great. not looking to shut down my thyroid though.

Tweetpermanent thyroid shutdown is a myth (widely held one, but still a myth). 25+ mcgs is generally believed to cause a temporary natural shutdown.

It's longer than most recommend, but you should be ok if you run a slow taper: 25mcg, 12.5mcg, 6.25mcg for a 10-14 days each for the 4th month. You could even keep the 1/2 or 1/4 tabs going longer as those doses don't shut you down. It could take 6 weeks to fully recover, so low supplementation during that time may help since you're running it for an extended amount of time.

Ok, so i've been at 25mcg for almost a month now.....so if i bump to 50mcg for say 2 months....then taper down slow the 4th month like you said....i'd be ok? going to be running anavar as a bridge to a deca/anadrol cycle too for 8 weeks post cycle also.

Should be ok, you can taper up quickly, down slowly. I think the time below 25mcg is the most important for recovery, since that is when your natural production kicks back in. Normal function returned in one study for people taking T3 for years in 6 to 8 weeks. I'm on 100mcgs/day right now, and am thinking about tapering down to 12.5mcg (1/2 tab) and cruising there or at 1/4 tab for some extra time just to make sure, plus I haven't quite cracked open that second bottle of 100 yet and I like it

The "general" rec is 6 week cycle: ramp a week or less, max 2 weeks, ramp down 3 weeks. The slow ramp is because you can "crash" before normal function returns and put on the weight you just took off (or kept from gaining in your situation)

yeah, i did the 6 week or so deal taper deal last time around. this time i am using it due to the GH, supposedly its necessary....but others say its not. but while i'm using it i figure why not make the most of it and use it the whole time in smaller doses then taper down. i'll be at 25mcg or lower for 2 months of the 4 months anyway....and never above 50mcg. so i think i'll be alright, especially if the GH is causing a lowering of T3 production.
