Thyroid Hormone Resistance - Info
goal=0_5171b97996-8bb7cfa1f4-328868674&mc_cid=8bb7cfa1f4&mc_eid=aa37631b8d It got me thinking because I still have mold in my body due to a moldy house and Candida as well, it is probable that the 100 mg of
Synthroid
and 5 mcg of Cytomel are making no difference to me.

Why would SMALL increase in T3 meds have caused fT3 to go DOWN a LOT and fT4 to also go DOWN?
The MD put my Cytomel back to 10mcg and increased
Synthroid
to 88 mcg. This seems like the right way to go (and I am feeling much better) but I can't understand why that small increase in cytomel caused fT3 to drop SO much, as well as fT4 to have dropped. Thanks.

Strange Sensations 4 Weeks After Increase
I also switched to name brand
Synthroid
at that time for consistency going forward. I have been on 5mcg T3 since January.Since the increase 4 weeks ago it has been up and down. I had 3 good days in a row (this past Fri-Sun).

hypertension treatments
I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism 21 years ago and am taking medication (
synthroid
) to manage this condition as well. Has anyone tried and had success with any natural remedies/supplements to successfully treat hypertension?

Six Months later - upcoming meeting with my MD (input needed)
After some reading in the literature, I moved my
Synthroid
dose to before bed which helped my daytime energy significantly, but I am still getting the late afternoon evening slump. I take my
Synthroid
at 10 PM, Cytomel at 4 AM, 10 AM and 4 PM (with the larger dose at 4PM).

Low T3 and Below TSH???
I am on 100 mg of
Synthroid
and 5mcg of Cytomel. I have to say I feel totally awful with all the hypo symptoms; super dry skin, major fatigue, major brain fog, outer eyebrows gone, hoarse voice, belly roll, poor breathing, bad teeth and gums....

Suppressed TSH but hypo symptoms
Cold turkey stopped levothyroxine (
synthroid
) 200mcg for 17 days in Nov 2022. Prior, felt great. Went back on 200mcg right away and had every hyperthyroid symptom, it was hell. (tsh 0.04 FT4 18 (9-19)) I have been trying to find my dosage ever since.

Feel Awful with Inconsistent Dosing
I increased my dose of
Synthroid
levothyroxine) about 10 days ago, so still very early on this dose. For the last few days, I had felt a little improvement. I was out living life even though I still have a ways to go. After my last bloodwork, I requested my dose to be raised from 50mcg to 75mcg.

TSH up after Synthroid increase
Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has had an increased TSH, lower FT3 & FT4 when increasing
Synthroid
dose.

AST and ALT enzyme fluxuation
The only change is my thyroid levels are off and we are working on the correct dose of
Synthroid
for that. How concerned should I be with levels rising because I assume that means my liver inflammation is increasing, doesn't it? Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

When did you feel better on the right dosage of Levothyroxine?
Was on 200mcg levothyroxine (
Synthroid
) for years and felt amazing, 0 symptoms. Went off meds for 16 days, felt like crap, tsh 224 and FT4 6 (9-19), so I went back on 200mcg.

Thyroid medication
Some time ago a GP gave me an incorrect
Synthroid
medication strength. That med. caused my right eye to protrude and turn to the right. On March 30th I'm having that corrected. Has anyone had a similar situation? That Dr. left for a bigger city. I was without a Dr.

Increasing NDT dose
I was taking 75 mg + 25 mcg
Synthroid
every morning. Not feelingg100% but functioning. He suggested I take 60 mg +25 mcg
Synthroid
in the morning and another 30 mg Erfa in the late evening. I tried several times but did not tolerate the evening dose. I decided to take all at once in the mornings.

Taking T3
I take 175 mcg
Synthroid
. My Endocrinologist has given me Liothyronine as my T3 is not up to par and I am symptomatic. He has given me 5mcg tablets to be taken 3 X's a day. I started slow taking 1 for 2 weeks and now 2 for 2 weeks. I would like to now take the third tablet.

dr wants to start 1000mcg of b12
Any suggestions on types of b12 How far to take apart from
synthroid
? The dr mentioned a side effect of jitters. Definitely don’t want that due to anxiety anyway Any advice

Adding T3
I posted my results last week and used slow dragons response to craft my request for a dosage increase of
synthroid
. She responded that my tsh was so low that I run the risk of becoming hyper if
synthroid
is increased..she did agree to add t3 in 5mcg and new labs in 8 weeks.

Generic Levothyroxine or Synthroid?
Synthroid
may be a brand name option I can go to, but curious if anyone has experience. Should we stay away from generic levothyroxine and go brand name?
