Help with free t3 and free t4 levels
Now my doctor wants to start me on
Synthroid

Could someone with low FT3 do ok on Levothyroxine only?
I was afraid to do the
Synthroid
from the many layers of horrible I've read about it, but now I wonder is there any truth to
Synthroid
, or is it wholly awful. I mean, if one has high or midrange FT4, would they take t3 only?

First labs on NDT and I'm confused and dismayed. Some symptoms better. Some worse.

before starting the NDT were: TSH 0.17 FT4 20.5 (9-23) FT3 3.8 (3.5-6.5) My labs on September 6, 2017 while taking 120mg EFRA Thyroid were: TSH <0.03 FT4 16.8 (9-23) FT3 4.3 (3.5-6.5) I am pleased my FT3 has increased a little and I guess

Lab Results: Confusing
So while the T4 dropped, the T3 improved on 88mcg
Synthroid
. On the 100mcg
Synthroid
, while the T4 had gone above the 75% of range, the conversion was lacking and T3 Free was less than it is now. I don't want to experience the frequent bowels I had on that dose.

High TSH causes?
I was told at that point I had hypothyroidism and was offered
synthroid
but politely declined as she said treating it wasn't necessary since everything else besides tsh was fine.

Levothyroxine for Sluggish Thyroids: Weekly or Daily?
The drug levothyroxine (
Synthroid
, Levoxyl, others) has long been the treatment for sluggish thyroids or hypothyroidism. The pill needs time to be absorbed properly, so patients are often instructed to take it daily a half hour to an hour before breakfast.

Dr. Said she's never seen this
She's switching me to
synthroid
50mcg. Not sure what happened there, she said it's so weird to her, but I hope the change helps! Any insight?

Switching from Morning to Night Advice
I'm going to switch from taking my 88mcg
Synthroid
in the morning (hour before breakfast) to night. Just a few questions. How should I make the switch, take my morning dose and then again that night, or skip my morning dose the day of the switch?

Transitioning from Synthroid to Porcine Thyroid extract
She seems to think the transition would be easy but I know coming off
Synthroid
is not straightforward. I wanted to taper the
Synthroid
off first and build up the extract (I have, I think 60mg caps but will check this). Anyone done this and how did they react? Am I over-worrying about this?

Upped EFRA thyroid tsh ft3 and ft4 all decreased
I want to cut back on ndt and add half of my
synthroid
dose backvto try and get the best of both worlds. I believe I convert t4 to T3 well from
synthroid
but also want the calcitonin, T1 and T2 provided by the EFRA. Has anyone tried this? I know I don't find many people who feel like I do.

is the dosage of synthroid(in USA) equal to euthyrox(from Europe)
I have question about
synthroid
. is
synthroid
dosage (from USA) equal to the dosage of Euthyrox (in Europe). In other words if I take in USA 125mcg of
synthroid
would it be equal to 125mcg of Euthyrox?

Weight Gain on Synthroid , what medication should I switch too?
I have been taking
synthroid
for 4 months and have gained almost 10 pounds. Before taking the medication I was at a stable weight and wasn't increasing nor decreasing. I eat healthy and play sports in school. I asked my doctor to test my T3 levels, along with my T4 and TSH.

Why am I so tired?
So I decided to add t4 (
Synthroid
) 37.5mcg. It helped with some of my symptoms, but I believe I dropped my t3 dose too soon (after 2 weeks on t4 I dropped my t3 dose to 9.5mcg. Is this likely the reason for my extreme fatigu? I was thinking that the t4 would make up for the missing t3.

Synthroid
does not seem to help. I can be on 100mg and my tsh will be near 400. Three months later it will be .03 taking the same 100. I have been on every dose possible including switching every other day.
