T4 Bedtime

[Gawdawg]

Would appreciate feedback on taking T4 alone at night. I've read taking T4 four hours before sleep, four hours before sleep then again at bedtime, 25mg, 50mg, etc. Any issues with disrupting sleep? Thank you.

Guessing you mean micrograms (mcg).. don’t know much but think you could start with the smallest possible dose and work your way up if you’re experimentin; ie a nibble off of the 25 mcg tablet (if it’s cytomel) then work ur way up each day or week til you find your best dosage

I only take T3 before bedtime. T4 can lower thyroid activity taken alone.

Thank you. I did mean mcg. I'm going to take a nibble of T4 with my last meal of the day. This will be an experiment.

That has been something I'm mindful of. Thanks!
