Needs to be made a sticky!
I made a mistake of running t3 by it self in the past and it literally stripped muscles of my body so fast it made my head spin. This stuff was amazingly efficient at it i must say, i almost admire it capabilities to do that. Needless to say you need to rum an anabolic with it, or else you're screwed. Ohh and i only took 25 mcg.

I was taking anavar and testosterone and I *still* lost muscle. And T3 drastically lowered my thyroid output according to bloodtests I had done several weeks afterward - this happened to several friends of mine as well.(not into hypothyroid range, but much lower.)...all of this with only 25mcg of cytomel.
This may not happen to you of course, but I would not recommend T3 to anyone. The risks are too great, IMO.
DIVISION said:eh, Po-Po.....
I'm taking T3 @ 100MCG ed while running Winny @ 50MG and I've seen nothing but impressive results. I'm going to taper off the T3, but really I'm not worried about any long term thyroid suppression.

Its impossible to not lose weight at 100mcg. You know div, I felt the same way about T3 before I actually saw my bloodtest results, that I would be perfectly fine running low doses with tapering. But the bloodtests of myself and some friends revealed problems - my TSH raised by about 2 points - while it didn't put me into hypothyroid range, it is signifigant.
My metabolism went from superfast to average or perhaps below average - and for that I wish I had never used T3.
I would be wary of armour thyroid - I have read some research that shows that the body will build antibodies to it much more quickly than it does Triiodothyronin (t3) and thyroxine (t4).
And let me emphasize - I did not "feel" a crash after I quit T3. If I had not had a bloodtest done, I never would have known....Of course my doc insisted everything was okay, but my TSH was much higher than it should have been. The attitude of most doctors is, if its in the normal range you're okay...even if you're within .1 point of the worst part of normal range.
I strongly disagree with that because the higher part of normal range is reserved for those that are much older than I.
