I've been alternating a whole and a half Cytomel 25 mcg tablet for the last few weeks, and it's been going better. I think I'll ask about getting a prescription for 4x5 mcg tablets a day at my appointment in a couple weeks, because the half-tablet days are noticeably more symptomatic. Like right now, my ears are ringing, and they were fine yesterday, and I've got the slightest headache.

Cytomel has a 2.5-day half-life, which is fairly short. You reach steady state fairly quickly (2 weeks), but you also have more fluctuations in the levels throughout the dosing interval. So taking the same dose every day would be beneficial.

I go for fasting lab work on Friday. Cholesterol, blood chemistry, CBC, and thyroid levels. Yay. My white count may be a bit elevated, since I've had a cold for about a week. It's much better, and I feel mostly fine, except I have a stuffy nose and a productive cough. I've stopped sounding like a 90-year-old smoker, at least, though my voice isn't completely back to normal.
