Synthroid vs Cytomel's effect on TSH Suppression
So here is my question: If I don't want TSH to be overly suppressed between here and there, can I only take 5 mg Cytomel per day (instead of 10 mcg Cytomel per day) along with the 100 mcg
Synthroid
in the morning? That is, which has a quicker effect on TSH levels, Cytomel or
Synthroid
? Thanks!

Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed
Synthroid
for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to
Synthroid
as possible.

My T3 is too high and need to reduce cytomel
I take 100 mcg of
Synthroid
and 25 mcg of cytomel. 2 days ago I changed my cytomel to 17 mcg. (the pill is a 25 mcg). How long should I stay at this level before I reduce the cytomel to 12.5 mcg? I do not have any symptoms of overactive thyroid at all.

Is my thyroid starting to act up?
I have been stable on
Synthroid
100 mg daily for quite a while now. I have Hashimoto's and was diagnosed in 2006.

Hypothyroid Labs In The Pits
Drugs used for past 6 months: 125mcg
Synthroid
and 1.5 mcgs Liothyronine. (I will admit that I was using
Synthroid
every other day, and the Liothyronine on the other days, so it's my own fault that I'm in the pits.

What could cause such dramatic weight gain
I have currently been on .1 mg
Synthroid
and 5 mcg Cytomel for three months, and while the blue lips, freezing cold and fatigue are gone, my legs are super swollen and hard, my "weight" is up 20 pounds in two months (unexplained by diet / lifestyle).

Lab results , here we go!
It took me 20+ years on
Synthroid
and feeling crappy to educate myself as to why. Well I learned of T3 and it was added bout 11 years ago. Last year on a visit my bp was elevated, I went to a cardio and had all tests . All was fine but said maybe stop the second t3 dose and see if you feel ok.

My latest Thyroid results after increase.
Test was done as normal 9am fasting no
Synthroid
for 24hrs. I’m wondering whether I should have stayed on 100mcg and rode it out because it seems like my body needs more. I’m nearly 15 stone. Any advice much appreciated.

Cytomel side effects
My cytomel was recently increased to 5 mcg 1/2 tablet 3 times day and
Synthroid
75 changed to unithroid 50. It has been 10 days and I am still not feeling well. I just feel unwell and feel the ups and downs of cytomel. Many changes recently due to feeling unwell .

Dr added more T3 and labs show no change, what happened?
She took me off my previous combo of 100 mcg
synthroid
and 5 mcg cytomel and started me on120 mcg of NP Thyroid back in October. It was a great help and my numbers looked better but she wanted my T3 up above the midrange, so in mid December she added 10 mcg of compounded T3.

Why are Endocrinologists So Useless - My Rant of Today!
I saw my endo today (had her for 1 year so far...) and she said my blood work is fine.....I am on 25
Synthroid
and 5 Cytomel - I asked for an increase. I am aware that the results should be in the top 1/3 of the range - not the very bottom of the bottom of the range........
