A member asked:

If i want to do a "deep dive" to inform myself on the potential risks of taking t3 (liothyronine) for 2 months then stopping, is there a website to check out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Deep dive: All you want. Using thyroid hormone when not indicated is plain old asking for trouble you don't need.
