How to tell if cytomel is working?

[daande]

So I started T3 last friday. I know I ramped up the dose faster than I should have but I was late getting it and was running out of AAS fast and did not want to extend my cycle.

This is how I ramped it up to 50mcg:

Day 1: 25mcg
Day 2: 25mcg
Day 3: 37.5mcg
Day 4: 37.5mcg
Day 5: 50mcg
Day 6: 50mcg
Day 7: 50mcg (today)

I am planning on keeping the dose at 50mcg tomorrow and sunday then upping it to 67.5mcg for 4 days then 75mcg and staying there for a week or 2 before ramping back down. I am wondering how I can tell if it is working? How long does it usually take to kick in. The only think I have noticed is that my "glands on my throat feel swollen when like when you have a sore throat. Is this an effect of taking t3?

Its not something you will feel so dont sit around waiting to feel a kick, it will exacerbate fat loss, aid in protein synthesis they say, you should also be feeling a little bit warmer at higher doses too. Thats it, just diet hard and let it do its things dont try to speed it up it not going to happen or make you lose fat any faster.

Ya I didnt think id feel it kick like clen or anything...do you think it will be fine if i do the increase to 75mcg how I outlined and then just cruise at 75mcg for a week or 2?

EDIT: Also, my scale weight has stayed the same for like 2-3 days now but I defiantly more veiny. I am excited to hit the gym from tomorrow on since school is done I will have extra time again to do cardio 2X a day plus weights.

I don't feel clen at all unless I start out at super high doses. I started out at 25mcg and increased by 25mcg every 2 weeks. Doing it that way you don't feel it and more importantly your body doesn't adapt to it and you don't need to cycle on or off.

Very smart, I think I'm going to do this the next time I run it!

I have just been keeping clen at 60mcg fo rthe past week I might up to 80mcg next week.

you can thanks Praetorian for that strategy :)

I have felt pretty good at 60mcg the only reason I want to up it to 80mcg is because I dont really notice the heat anymore.

I don't notice any heat at all. Just because you don't feel it working doesn't mean it's not working.

Okay.

Take your temperature in the morning...youll see its higher than normal. You shouldnt ramp up that fast...it should take 4 weeks to ramp up to 50mcg.
Your thyroid gland is in your throat near your vocal cords.

I know you had advised me to ramp up slower and I was going to but I basically need to do this in 4 weeks so I wanted to ramp up faster. I am going to max out at 75mcg like you said and do a slower ramp down.
