I have been taking cytomel 25mcg for 2 weeks now with my synthroid Prior to cytomel i was extremely cold and tired all the time. when i started the cytomel it seem to help immediately in the beginning. this pasr week i have fatigue cold intolerance and joint and back pain and also fluttering heart once in a while (not palpitations last 20 secs or so) is it the meds? or how long will this fatigue last? i am so dragged out tired lately i cant do much. will the cytomel kick in?

I'm not an expert, however i do know that if your thyroid levels are not stable to the point where "your" body is satisfied, you will have "hypo" symtoms. I too experience the same symptoms only on synthroid...my levels are still creeping to normal due to the TT in Dec but i have developed issues with my heart (skipped beats, flutters..etc) and i am very fatigue in the evening...everyday.

I haven't followed your posts....but, is that what cytomel does?? "Increase your energy?? or regulate your levels??
