It depends on how much you plan on using. If the purpose is to just limit fat accumulation 25mcg/day for the duration will make a difference. -
If your planning to pyramid the dose, from 25-100mcg and down. 6 weeks I would run. But 25mcg p/d for the duration is a good idea. You'll bring your T3 levels up to the normal to high range."Miracles Can Happen"Comment

You don't need to taper at that dose?Originally posted by Miracle Man

There's never any need to taper at any dose. Let's put it this way... does one taper the medication ones doctor prescribes? AAS and their ancilliaries are just like any medication.Comment

so i can just start off at like 50mcg for 3days and then jump to 100mcg?Comment

I thought the idea fo tapering is to give you own t3 a chance to recover?Originally posted by iamdwalrus

How does tapering give ones thyroid gland a chance to recover one is still taking exogenous T-3? It doesn't. After taking T-3 and your thyroid production is suppressed your body will notice it and it will give a signal to your body to produce more so it will get back to normal levels. I visit my doctor regularly and at one point two weeks after stopping I got bloodwork done to check(T4,T3R,T3RIA,TSH) my results indicated that I was only producing
only 2ng/dl. 3 weeks later I went back to the same thing and it was at 9ng/dl. A normal thyroid produces 4-11ng/dl. So I recovered in less than 2 months with no permanent damage to my thyroid. People recover in different rates so take that in consideration.

Isn't that the idea behind tapering. As you typer your body singles the thyroid gland to start producing some t3 as you slowly taper off.Originally posted by iamdwalrus

It depends on what tapering means to people. Some taper to prevent crashing, and some taper just for the sake of tapering. I never taper and my body recovers just the same even without it, and at a better rate than some who do. By tapering off you delay the thyroid gland from recovering and producing your own natural T3 levels.Comment

This study might explain what I'm getting at since articulation has taken a leave of me.

The time course of changes in TRH responsiveness in man following a single dose of liothyronine.
Azizi F, Vagenakis AG, Ingbar SH, Braverman LE.
The serum thyrotropin (TSH) response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH, 100 mug i.v.) was evaluated prior to and at various times following the oral administration of single doses of liothyronine (100 mug) given at weekly intervals. The TSH response to TRH was mildly depressed when TRH was given 1 hr after liothyronine administration when the serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentration was strikingly elevated, was markedly reduced 16 and 24 hr after liothyronine, was essentially abolished 3 days after liothyronine when the serum T3 concentration was normal, and was normal 7 days after liothyronine administration. These findings suggest that the more prolonged suppression of TRH responsiveness, observed following the withdrawal of long-term excess endogenous or exogenous thyroid hormones, cannot be ascribed to the intrinsic duration of action of the hormone present at the time of withdrawal, but rather to the prolonged extent of the suppression itself.Comment

The study says it was administered once a week. I'll be taking t3 ed.

I don't think it matters whether you take it once a week or ed, the concentration rate of bioavailability would still be the same.Comment
