Hi,
I was changed over to cytomel last year and felt radically improved within
a few days of being on the new medication. However I did at one stage go
hyper due to a minute change in dose and then -boy- did I get the panic
attacks back. It was so bad that I could barely swallow without being
convinced I'd aspitate and die!
The benefit of these drugs is that they have such a short half life,
(meaning that only half of the original dose is still in you system). Which
translates into being able to rapidly reverse the negative effects of too
much or too litle. But be aware that you must take it with caution...always
take it at the same time, and don't forget to take to it because in either
scenerio you'll rapidly develop sypmtoms again.
