> AND I don't know what I should do about the Cytomel this morning. I am thinking 5 mgs is too much. I feel a bit caffeinated this am, and I haven't had anything to eat or drink since last night. I could try 2.5 mgs, but the pill kinda turned to dust when I split it. But maybe I will wait till after the treatment. But I read that you are supposed to take T3 at the *same time* every day. And on an empty stomach, do you know if this is true? If I wait till after the treatment it will be sometime in the afternoon, several hours after my regular time. But if I am a little wired anyway, it's probably best to wait anyway. I am a bit shaky and revved up, but now high at all.

> ChloeAs far as T4 goes anyhow, you are supposed to take it on an empty stomach the same time each morning. I wonder if the anti-cycling effect of thyroid hormone has to do precisely with being a little "revved-up", but not hypomanic? Maybe it is a consistent *sameness* experience through the day that keeps you from being overly reactive to your environment..?
