It discusses what's known and what's not about combination therapy, but from the old standpoint often, though it does acknowledge our questioning of the use of TSH as a controller of therapy.

Here's something very interesting I found about combination therapy. Anyone have experience? Especially with small dose of Elvanse + small dose of Strattera.

Morning I am chronic RA for forty years and for thirty five of those I have been on combination therapy including steroids. I am now on mtx pred 5 mg and Toficitinab. I now have an annoying and sore angular chelitis . I have tried lots of creams and potions and nothing seems to help.

This may have been posted here some time ago but I came across this when looking at a trial currently being carried out in Greece as the the effectiveness of using T3 to treat Covid-19. (I also came across a trial of T3 for treating MS where T3 showed no adverse effects.) It seems to be saying that

The great and good from the UK, Europe and USA have come together in a consensus meeting to thrash out possible future assessments and guidelines for the use of T4/3 combination therapy. As we expected it carefully omits any of our work in its conclusions.

This article has tested the stability in use of T3-sulphate rather than T3 alone for combination therapy. The T3-sulphate gives a much more even response than T3 only, and lowers the "spiking" seen shortly after taking. CLINICAL TRIAL ARTICLE Front.

Can anyone offer advice on how to know which is likely to provide better outcomes? Or is it literally a case of trial and error? If so, which one is best to try first? My instincts tell me adding T3 to T4 is the most straightforward way to add T3 and that it gives you more control over the ratio, but

I know it's not available in Spain, but I need to find a GP who understands combination therapy and is willing to prescribe it to me and won't be alarmed by my suppressed TSH. I understand I'd need to get it filled in another country and pay out of pocket for it.

My latest blood tests revealed that the conversion of FT3 to FT3 is not good so I am interested to start with a combination therapy - L thyroxin and T3 or Cytomel( or whatever other marketing name the pill has) .

Backstory I'm on a combination therapy of 25mcg T3 and 50mcg T4. I've been on it for 6 years and it's really working for me. My docs surgery is trying to cap my T3 at 10mcg, I told them I wasn't accepting that and that they had to refer me to the Endo who prescribed it originally.

Dear Thyroid experts Can I please ask for some advice in advance of my doctor calling on Monday to review my levothyroxine dosage. As she’s been away for a couple of months and has been very good in trying to help me, I have been following the previous advice you’ve all given me on here and used medichecks

My MO said we will know the effectiveness of the above combination therapy when Testesorone level increase and PSA remain undetectable. I know that with G score of 9 recurrence rates are high, but at what levels of Testestetone one should expect a recurrence is it 100, 200 or full normal levels?

Spoke to an endo today who agreed within 20 minutes of speaking with me that I need a combination therapy of Levo and T3. He’s sending the prescription and then we will get the prescription from a pharmacy in London. Feel SO relieved and am hoping that this is going to help.

Desiccated thyroid extract (DTE) is a form of combination therapy in which the LT4/LT3 ratio is ∼4:1; the mean daily dose of DTE needed to normalize serum TSH contains ∼11 mcg T3, but some patients may require higher doses.
