I wish you wouldn't post incorrect info without researching the truth. I have a link that states that cytomel t3 has a half life of 2 1/2 days NOT A FEW HOURS AND IS NOTHING LIKE COFFEE!!!
T3 is ther active form of thyroid and is very active in weight loss depending on dose.
My wife put on lot of weight on zoloft and used 20 mcg of cytomel (t3) and lost 50 pounds. before starting the t3 the diet was not working and I suspect it was due to her age and the thyroid slowing down. When she started t3 the weight starting coming off. Now she has backed down to 10 mcg. I think she plans on staying on that dose as it works well with her zoloft.http://www.kingpharm.com/kingpharm/uploads/pdf_inserts/Cytomel_Web_PI.pdf
