Comparing Cytomel vs Liothyronine

For Underactive Thyroid: I have been on this for a day and my aches and pains have subsided. I will not give it a 10 because I am not "perfect" yet.

For Underactive Thyroid: I have a little more energy on Cytomel. I was born with hypothyroid. I relented on going on synthroid in 2002 in hopes of losing weight and went off in 2015. My last dose was 200mcg. I never felt energetic on synthroid and it didn't make me thinner. I took a blood test in 2015 and found my reverse T3 was high and my doctor put me on cytomel. I lost 5 pounds when my meds were changed (not a significant amount in the scheme of life but I overeat so I can't really blame the drug) and I have noticed no ill side effects. I'm happy.

For Underactive Thyroid: I have gained 20 pounds in the last 2 months, feel really hungry all the time, am having a hard time breathing for about a month now. I do not know if the breathing is from the medication, air, or allergies. My thyroid is under control though.

For Underactive Thyroid: I have had hypothyroidism for almost my entire life. I have been on Synthroid and generic levothyroxine and never felt much better with all symptoms remaining. I finally got an endocrinologist to listen to me and he lowered my dose of Synthroid and gave me liothyronine. My depression lifted in 2 days, my cholesterol dropped 40 points and my energy level has never been this good. I am having a little difficulty with insomnia. I still struggle to lose even 1 pound but I'll still take the difference that I feel.
