Free t4 and menopause
I ask because I’m 44 and my free t4 has inched up the last couple of years even though I’ve actually lowered my
synthroid
a bit. Tsh and free t3 are mostly the same, but my FT3/FT4 ratio is getting lower and lower and I think causing symptoms.

Tsh close to zero but t3 and t4 normal on meds?
She also lowered my
synthroid
. I went from about 100mcg
synthroid
daily to 85 mcg
synthroid
and 10mcg t3 (split into two doses of 5). Finally have more energy and less shortness of breath when exercising.

Dividing doses before blood work.
I take
Synthroid
62.5 + NDT 75, I’m looking for advice as to how to divide my doses the day before my labs. I take the full dose of both every morning at 7-8 am. Thanks to all who have helped me in this horrible journey!!

How are you managing your thyroid health?
I've been off line for a while. just a quick update, after 10 years of using
synthroid
, My doctor finally change my med to Armour Thyroid 150mcg. I have reach a point in my life, to figure things out myself.

Hashimotos, in range. Should I take 25mcg Levoxyl?
A new GP says he will try me in 25mcg Levoxyl today, not
Synthroid
or levothyroxine. eople on here said for me to start at least 50mcg. Doc wants to go methodically slow because of antibodies, and because of the jitters I got on thyroid medication I self-took.

Branded Levothyroxine Bests Generic for Hypothyroidism
Will caveat that the research was commissioned by the manufacturer of
Synthroid
so clearly a vested interest and in no way independent. Would be intrigued if there was a similar analysis of the UK brands of Levo to compare their efficacy.

Update on my other post :Hashimoto's in range, now taking Levoxyl 25/50mcg. (Now having reactions?)
I already had this- self-trying T4T3 20/4 combo, T3 only or
Synthroid
in Dec. (Trying to stick to this T4 only. But slow release T3 bothered me too on a short trial.

Back on levothyroxine, dose upped
Hi, I've had hypo for a while now and felt a bit better before when I was taking 125mcg
synthroid
. However my GP got scared back then that the TSH was too low and reduced my dose to 75. Of course this made me feel terrible again.

DHEA/Cortisol Ratio is Low
My ACTH has been elevated for the past 6 months and it has thrown me off w/thyroid meds (
Synthroid
). I was on 75, then on 50, now on 62.5 consistently for 8+ weeks. I really don't know what's happening with the ACTH.

So fed up!
I have been on
Synthroid
since the beginning alternating doses as required - but I am exhausted! The specialists say my numbers are 'normal' even though I have every symptom of hypothyroid and I am so fed up with this existence!

Explain
Can somehow explain to me how if put on too low of a dose of
synthroid
(T4) it can actually make hypo symptoms worse? I would think that maybe a too low dose would leave it unchanged, but how would too little of a T4 dose make you feel worse?

PLEASE help solve my thyroid mystery
I have been slowly reducing my
Synthroid
dose since being pregnant a year ago. And 8 weeks after each .25mcg decrease (started at .75mcg) So each time I decrease my
Synthroid
, my levels stay the same.
