Experiences with

Levothyroxine / Liothyronine

Anyone who knows how soon levothyroxine or liothyronine have an affect on heavy periods?

Hi, I’ve my annual review at the beginning of Feb and have not been able to get a morning appointment, the earliest is just after 2.00pm. I’ve tried to change day and time without success. What should I do in terms of meds (T4 & T3)? I take both together through the night, usually between 2 - 4 am.

I'm on levothyroxine and Liothyronine and have been for over 10years. Trying hard to lose weight and now menopausal....just literally things got worse! Am thinking to try NMN to help with DNA repair...any thoughts?

Levothyroxine, Liothyronine, Prednisolone, Risedronate, Omeprazole (twice a day), Adcal (dissolvable twice a day). Thank you.

Currently taking 125mcg Levothyroxine + 15mcg Liothyronine. The dose seems about right, but the problem I’m having is sourcing a lactose-free brand of levothyroxine. The only brand that I can find is TEVA.

I take 150 levothyroxine and 20 liothyronine. Specialist also told me to take vitamin d. Had test done as recommended early morning water only. Blood results as follows. Now told to reduce vit d may have to increase levothyroxine. But only if my weight increases.

He put me on a dose of: 50mcg levothyroxine 10mcg Liothyronine Sodium to be slit 2 or 3 times a day Upon starting: TSH: 2.8 T4: 17 T3: 3.1 I was expecting to start on a lower dose of T3 and for my levo dose to be decreased by around 10-12% Also, is the ratio of T3:T4 being 1:5 okay?

The suggestion that combination treatment (levothyroxine and liothyronine) might be an antidote to persistent symptoms comes from evidence extrapolated from some elegant rodent experiments.

Started on levothyroxine and liothyronine, happy with levels just taken.

Yet again GP wants to reduce my levothyroxine and liothyronine as my TSH is 0.12. this happens regularly and my TSH never changes. Many years ago an ultrasound of my thyroid showed it was “shrivelled up “ as I was told at the time.

My previous test results on 1 May 2024 whilst I was on Levothyroxine 175mg and Liothyronine 20 mg : FT3 5.3 (2.4-6.0) FT4 16.9 (9.0-19.1) TSH 0.01 (0.35-4..94) After posting in here and following advice, I reduced Levothyroxine to 150mg only and stayed on 20mg Liothyronine with my GP’s approval
