At first it speeded me up quite a bit, which was uncomfortable. Has anyone experienced pimples on their body with Cytomel?

Additional Thoughts
This is a miracle drug for me! I thank God everyday for it. I'm not totally fatiged anymore. I don't have to take 2 hr. naps everyday. In 3 wks I've lost 7 lbs. I have energy and motivation to work and keep a good house. No more bladder infections , which I was having at least once a month. Menstual cycle is improved.There's so much more... I hope that anyone who is suffering will be able to get to try Cytomel. I'm on 20 mcg daily.

Side Effects
My doctor added cytomel to my Synthroid since my TSH levels and T3 and T4 were all inconsistent - had significant fatigue, dramatic weight gain (15 lbs in one month!) and puffy neck and face.

Additional Thoughts
Cytomel has made a HUGE difference! I can focus and have clarity all day, I have lost all the weight that I gained and my blood tests are ALL within normal range - this T3 supplement did the trick and was able to decrease dosage of Synthroid. My doc has me take the Synthroid at bed time and the Cytomel first thing in the morning to aleviate false high TSH levels - I have the BEST doc in WORLD ;-)

Side Effects
HORRENDOUS! Within one month my testosterone level rose to a deadly 433 (45 is max high for a female.) Side effects included: dry brittle head hair and head hair loss but significant hair growth on mustache, chin and breasts; hundreds of pimples and rash bumps on face, neck, back and chest; clitoris swelled to three times normal size with compulsion to masturbate several times daily and arousal with any clothing touching the area; genital skin changed from cream color to dark brown; weight gain of three pounds per week for a total of twelve pounds by months end.

Additional Thoughts
Was taking only 2.5 mcg which is half of the smallest dose available. Cytomel was better than any anti-depressant I had been on for mood enhancement and it was great to feel a touch of youthful sexuality again. However, I had more testosterone than three men on steroids and it might have proved deadly for me had I stayed on any longer. After stopping Cytomel it took three weeks for my testosterone level to return to normal. Most of the pimples have subsided and so far I have lost half of the twelve pounds I gained.

Reason: I think my T4 was low Date: 21 June 2007
Side Effects
Since I have been taking Cytomel I feel I have become physically weak and I feel somewhat hysterical at times. I haven't lost weight, I haven't gained. But my hands are swolen and every joint I have is painful. It's hard to get up and down, especially when the pill wears off. After about five hours, I'm exhausted! My sex drive is worse than it was before. I've been breaking blood vessels a lot lately???

Additional Thoughts
I started at 5mcg in the am and then added another 5mcg in the afternoon. I am having such pain, I decided to stop taking the afternoon pill and then after I see the Dr next week, I would like to stop taking it all together.

Some hair loss

Additional Thoughts
Awesome results. I was taking just Levoxyl, but still had fatigue and bloating. Cytomel has worked wonders and I've lost 12 lbs. I've had some hair loss, but overall I'm very pleased.
