i'm probably gonna switch to slow release in a couple weeks, skipper,
cos i'm feeling the tapering effects.  i do get the jitters if i'm
even 5 minutes late.  so now i have cytomel upstairs, downstairs, in
my car, with my cell phone and a separate timer set at 12 hour
intervals.  it's all within reach.

my temp has increased 1 whole degree in 1 month, so i'm sure this is
the right track.  my pain has dissolved for the most part, and my
brain works a lot better.  still misfires fairly often, but i'm not
in a total haze.

slow release is expensive, though.  do you order it from an online
compounding pharmacy or do you go to a place near you?  what do you
pay?  my cytomel is 35 bucks with insurance for 1 month, and 85 for a
3 month supply.

best,
baron
