Adrenaline spikes: Med detective needed, award given

Just an update: I have started taking a small dose of Cytomel (half of a 5mcg tab) and reduced my Synthroid to 100mcg, and this has stopped the adrenaline rushes at 3am...for now. Going to continue to monitor things, hopefully with a new family doc and I have an appt to see an Endocrinologist in October (a six month wait here in Canada).

Have to ask you if finding a dr. to prescribe Cytomel has been an issue. My endocrinologist and 2 GP's said "No" to cytomel despite my reverse T3 being high (showing that the T4 generated through use of T4 is not undergoing conversion) or T3 is not being accepted into cells). Explanation was that the Endocrinology board only recommends dr.'s use Synthroid.
