NEED SOME ADVICE
This is what I’m doing, trying to wean off
Synthroid
& cytomel to transition to NDT. I was on
Synthroid
100+5cytomel. I started by dropping the cytomel and taking 87.5
Synthroid
, adding 30 mg thyroid. Stayed on that for two weeks, then 75 mcg
Synthroid
+ 45mg thyroid.

Levothyroxine
I’ve discovered that
Synthroid
(brand) levothyroxine has trace amounts of gluten (informed through research). Makes me Ill every time. The only brand that I know for certain that doesn’t is made by Mylan.

Why is t3 low while tsh is also low?
My tsh has continually been dropping over the past couple years, but the last year it has been dropping quicker even with lowering my
synthroid
dose every two months or so. I have had Hashimotos hypothyroidism since I was around 10 and have never been on such a low dose.

Hashimotos, new to taking meds, helpless jitters, indecision with no direction here
I could try the 15 pills of
Synthroid
t4 only I have left, as I never gave t4 only a bigger chance. The Levo/
synthroid
fillers; I'm afraid to try again, if I may not recover. But my dose was so low. Who can remember how bad it was or not.?

How to deal with different brands of generic synthroid?
My levo will not be sold anymore in Pharmacies around me. They changed manufacturer. Scared! How have you managed that situation? Thank you in advance.

Zeroing in on optimal dose of Synthroid/Cytomel combination.
Current dose: 112 mcg
Synthroid
& 20 mcg Cytomel. Background is that I had a full thyroidectomy due to papillary thyroid cancer in 2004.

A Thyroid Mess
The
Synthroid
, I believe, was Levothroid not
Synthroid
, I now believe but, the
Synthroid
, although ‘stronger” (I could feel it) than the Levothrox-ine serum I’m now taking, is not strong enough to make much difference because it’s T4, an inactive hormone.

Can Levo cause these issues even after stopping?
Switched to
Synthroid
and it was worse. At the same time I started to get nerve pain in my hands and a prickly/hot nerve pain in my back just to the right of my spine. Switched to Levoxl and things got better but the rashes started developing these itchy open lesion type things that are odd.

Blood work for my dilemma
So after being on nature throid 97.5 for two years, starting and then stopping
Synthroid
for 12 days (100 mg), and now jumping back on Nature throid I was having so many horrible symptoms but they didn’t show up until day 11 back on the naturethroid. Not sure if it’s even related.

Synthroid withdrawal
If I only took
Synthroid
100mg for 7 days and 50mg of Tirosint for 5 days...how long until it is out of my system. The side effects are horrific and unbearable, but I don’t want to jump right on armour until I feel somewhat better. Thank you. Going through a rough time right now.

Dosing question
If you remember from my previous post I had been on NT for 2 years at 1.5 grains and my endo switched me to
Synthroid
100mg. I took for 7 days and felt so absolutely awful and then tried Tirosint 50mg for 5 days and absolutely no better.
