Question 1

i was goofing around and took a bunch of t3's.  how much can a person take before overdosing?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: People almost never get seriously sick from taking a few extra T3 (liothyronine) (thyroid) tablets; this is actually fairly common.  The only approach to weight loss that actually works is a combination of (1) realizing the food industry is playing you, and (2) finding some kind of aerobic activity that you actually enjoy & can share with friends / partner.  Good luck.

Question 2

can i take nyquil 4 hrs after taking t3's?

Accepted Answer

Depends on your: body size, tolerance to meds, previous exposure, etc.  If you are average size and have taken these meds before, it should be ok.  You might want to take half dose first, if you want to make sure.

Question 3

what is the t3 (liothyronine) test ?

Accepted Answer

T3 (liothyronine): It's part of checking your thyroid function.  T3 (liothyronine) is the active thyroid hormone your body uses.  Other components include t4, tsh, free t4, and sometimes reverse t3 (liothyronine) and thyroid antibodies.

Question 4

is t3 (liothyronine) level 1.14 normal?

Accepted Answer

No: A free t3 (liothyronine) is not normal.

Question 5

what was meant for low in t3 (liothyronine)?

Accepted Answer

T3 (liothyronine) is one: Of the thyroid hormones. It cannot be interpreted in a vacuum. Need to know free level, T4 and tsh.

Question 6

what does a high t3 (liothyronine) in a kid mean?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid hormones: It would be an easier answer if there was more information, i.e. how old is the child, what was the TSH and T4, is this a total T3 (liothyronine) or free? Generally a high T3 (liothyronine) points to thyroid disease but it can also be affected by pregnancy, liver disease, and abnormally high levels of protein in the blood. Best discussed with the doc that ordered the test.

Question 7

my t3 (liothyronine) level is high what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See Your Endo MD: Just having high T3 (liothyronine) does not give a good picture what is wrong. Need to get a complete picture of what is going on?

Question 8

if my t3 is 45 t4 is 50 what does this mean? thank you

Accepted Answer

Need units: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped had you provided units of measure.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 9

what are the symptoms of low t3 (liothyronine) levels?

Accepted Answer

Maybe none: T3 (liothyronine) &amp; T4 are the active thyroid hormones.   But low T3 (liothyronine) by itself may be normal, unless either T4 is low or TSH is elevated, then total thyroid production is likely low.   See your doctor for full evaluation and treatment.

Question 10

what test would i have to have for a reverse t3 (liothyronine) problem?

Accepted Answer

None: There is no reverse T3 (liothyronine) problem. It is a non-issue propagated by an unscientific and invalid study. The disorder you are asking about doesn't exist and the reverse T3 (liothyronine) test is worthless. Check w/your doctor for accurate and scientific information, not the internet. Go to the american thyroid assoc. At thyroid.Org and search for wilson's syndrome.
