> The cytomel effect will wear off after a while as when your body adapts it turns your own thyroid production off...so if you do ever go off cytomel,..wean off very slowly..or you wil gain back so much weight until your own thyroid kicks in...could be 12 weeks at least for this to happenThanks for confirming this...it'w what I initially thought bu my doc' said it wasn't the cause. Did you read my other post earlier how my pharmacist thought that the Cytomel might have aided/been responsible for my eventual Effexor hypersensitivity. She thought that the Cytomel might have boosted it too much. Have you ever heard of such a thing happening?
