I talked to the nurse again and she told me the doctor agreed to try the Cytomel. He put me back down to the .50mg synthroid and told me to take 1/2 of a 25mg tablet of the cytomel every day. Can I take it with the Synthroid first thing in the morning? I just called the pharmacy and they have it ready and I will start it first thing in the morning. I hope this helps!

Hi Mary - that's excellent news!! I really hope this is the answer for you. I don't know when to take it and can't look it up for you right now but the pharmacist should know. What I do know offhand about it is that your system runs through it fairly quickly. Are you supposed to take it more than once a day? I'll look up some info for you tomorrow, ok? That's great news, though. Let's hope that this is it!! Cathy :)
