I'm new to the site and the forums. I am a 42YO male power lifter who has epilepsy that is semi controlled (I have had one grand mal seizure in the last 10 months).
My seizure meds make me feel like complete crap. There are days when I sleep 20-22 hours at a time and then there are days that I won't sleep at all... Currently my supplements consist of 2cc of TE (250mg/cc) every 7 days along with vitamins, protein, bcaa's, and some caffeine before my workouts.
My meds look like this: Depakote ER 2500mg 2x/day, Zonagram 300mg 1x/day, Citalopram 1x/day, Atenolol 50mg 1x/day, Lisinopril 25mg 1x/day, Warfarin 1.5-3mg 1x/day (also have 5 genetic factors that cause blood to be hyper coagulable and to not dissolve blood clots).
I have been reading about what a lot of guys have said about T3. Many of them suggest cycling it with Clenbuterol... The problem for me is that the Clen could cause me to have a seizure... So my question is this would a 50-75mcg dose of just the T3 help me in dropping the last 20#'s of BWT that I need to lose? I have also heard about T4... How is this different from T3?
My diet is pretty clean... I shoot for 2500-2750 calories/day with 60% coming from protein, 24% fats, 16% carbs... Calorie intake wise I am limited because I am missing 75% of my stomach from gastric sleeve surgery in 2013... At that point in time I was 450#'s and almost dead... Actually I had been medically dead 3x prior and in a coma from a seizure for over a month in 2008... I shouldn't be here at all today but I am and I am not going to give up on the quest that I am on...
Any help or thoughts (aside from trying to talk me out of training as hard as possible) would be awesome. Help in diet and recommendations in supplementation would be great too... Not just T3.
Thanks;
