I posted above, but it didn't "translate." So I wrote it again:
I stopped the Cytomel (T3) two days ago. I was too hot and anxious. I feel much better now, but I am SOOO sleepy. I am dragging myself around. I ready for bed now and it's only 7pm.
I tried to cut the pill, so I could take a smaller amount of T3. But it just turned to dust. Anyway, my mood seems pretty good without it, so far. I am MUCH less nervous, short fused and not sweating so. Hopefully, my energy level will pop back up to where it was pre-T3. I hope it's OK that I d/c'd it, cause I just couldn't stand feeling so tense. I can't wait until my levels come back from the lab. I wonder if my TSH anywhere near 0.5? It sure felt on the hyperthyroid end of the scale to me...But I am not sure I can function feeling so tired. Should I try to take half? I wish I could get a hold of my pdoc. But it's a holiday weekend, and she is gone. I think I got to go to bed now... I wish the thyroid was helpful. But honestly, I think it made me too nervous. At least at that dose (10mcgs). Any thoughts, anyone?
