Sick of Being Sick
My PCP has increased
Synthroid
from 75 mg to 100 mg. My TSH level is 6.1(.4-4.5); T4 Free is .8(.8-1.7) and T3 Free is 1.9(2.3-5.5). My Vitamin D level was 11; it is now 30(30-80). My B12 was 153, then 1034 after injections and supplementing; now it says >2000.

Thyroid Test Results Assistance Needed
That
synthroid
is better. It's been 4 months and I don't feel any better then before my surgery. I started taking vitamin D which by the way my endocrinologist never mentioned that I was low. This are today's test results. Thank you

Primary doctor slams T3
The T4 was
Synthroid
, a synthetic drug that cost me a buck a pill and the T3 was a generic "free" pill.

Prescribed Cytomel, Fair Dose Adjustment?
I got a dose adjustment,
Synthroid
reduced to 100mcg with addition of 5mcg Cytomel to be taken once daily. Is this a fair adjustment? Thanks!

Chest pain with even small amount of T3?
I then went on straight t4 and felt awful- so now I've been trying to add a tiny bit of T3 to my 50mcg of
synthroid
and every time I try to increase just a tiny bit ( 2.5 mcg) I start having chest pains.

NDT for extremely high antibodies? (Hashi's)
I came in on 112 mg/
Synthroid
. So she started me on 48.75 Nature thyroid and cut the
Synthroid
dose in half for 4 weeks. At the 1st blood test my antibodies were greater than 2200!

Hypothyroid issues
But I will do what I can. .I have been told I have an allergy to
synthroid
. I can take a natural medication like armour but docs here do not like to use it. I was put back on the
synthroid
which is not helping. Hair falling out, brain fog, joint pain & major anxiety.

Off Synthroid...
Hello, I’ve been following this site for quite some time and it’s very very helpful for people like me. I’ve been hypothyroid since I was 19...now I’m 39 and it’s been a roller coaster. Going to doctors that treat you like an exam paper. If the results come back normal, "oh you are fine” but that’s not

New endo and different medicine
Assumes that because I am on 100
synthroid
that my thyroid is no longer active, but is unsure because I still have high antibodies. Unfortunately only really looks at tsh and foes not recommend pig thyroid gland, however willingly prescribed 2 grains so we are going to give it a try! Hopeful.

Adding T3 to T4 - how much
So added 20mcg of T3 (Cytomel) to the 75mgc of T4 (
Synthroid
). And the Cytomel has helped - I am having more better days than horrible days, but not optimal. I think I may need more T3 - wondering if anyone has been through adding T3 - how much did you add? Did you reduce T4?

T4-only; T3-T4 Combo, T3-only or NDT? How do you know?
I was reducing the T4 from 75, while upping the T3 from a prescription 5mcg to 7.5 and I cut the T4
Synthroid
pill in half because it was giving me heart palipatations until the past two nightsWednesday & Thursday night, as I took only T3, and when I woke up, at the usual palipatation time (about 3 hours

Thyroid Advice
I currently take
Synthroid
for Hypothyroidism but never had the additional test. Are these numbers something to be concerned about?

Didn't take my Thyroid meds right and am very sick.
I was taking
Synthroid
225 in early morning. Sometimes, I would take it right after a GAs X or something like that and take it with food or other meds. I have diagnosed myself by just reading, going to my Dr. Tuesday. You may or may not relate to these symptoms, but I'll share anyway.

Change of brand
For some time now I have been taking Levothyroxine but since changing pharmacies I have been offered the options of changing to either
Synthroid
or Eltroxin. Because I haven't felt much better on the Levo I have chosen to change to Eltroxin and am now wondering if I have done the right thing.
