Switching from combo T4 + NDT to straight NDT
Hello All, After quite some time on
Synthroid
(and after it stopped working for me), I was put on WP Thyroid 2 grains, as well as 75mcgs of Levoxyl. There were definite improvements across the board – except in the weight department. I was still unable to shift any of the water weight.

Hillary Clinton's doctor gives her clean bill of health after 2012 concussion - takes thyroid pills
Her prescription is for Armour Thyroid, an alternative to the more typical
Synthroid
medication that some holistic physicians prefer because it is produced from dried pig thyroid glands instead of being synthesized in a laboratory. The pill is known mostly for its pungent odor.'

New discovery! Why synthroid or levothyroxine won't work.
I found this article that explanes how you can have normal TSH, t3, and t4 levels and still have hypothyroidism. It also explains how the hormone converts differently in the pituary gland than in the liver and how factors like depression, weight gain, stress, fibromyalgia, heart disease, diabetes and

Been to Endo and had my
Synthroid
dosage upped some and can already tell the difference as I'm not so exhausted all the time. I get checked again in 3 months to see how things are going and if I'm still experiencing symptoms-I have Hashimitos-then she will start me on some T3 as well.

T4/T3 and TSH
Told my doc I think maybe when I was on the
Synthroid
my T4 wasn't converting to T3 and now that I'm on T3 I likely need a lot less T4. She said I was wrong and everyone converts T4 to T3. Is she right about that? Also is it better or worse to be on the lower side of the TSH range?

How to fight osteoporosis
I was considering taking
Synthroid
before going to bed, but since I take magnesium at that time I don't want to combine them. Magnesium makes me sleepy.

Levothyroxine
I was on
synthroid
until I was 10 and then was put on Levothyroxine, and currently on 125 mg. My parents are divorced and I go back and forth from their houses quite often, and forget to take it most days.

Suffering With Extreme Fatigue
I take
Synthroid
100 mg and 5 mg of liothyrinne. About 2 in the afternoon I take another liothyrinne. If I don't I get very cold and tired. My blood work says I'm normal, but I feel terrible. I currently decided not to eat wheat. I'm on a low carb diet anyway.

Challenges in Thyroid Hormone Therapy: Why Is It So Complicated?by Holtorf Medical Group
The tendency is usually to prescribe
Synthroid
, Levoxyl or another brand name or generic form of levothyroxine, and then write off any unresolved symptoms as unrelated to the thyroid problem, as a consequence of poor lifestyle choices, or even, as a somatoform disorder, also known as a psychosomatic

Hashimoto's/hypothyroid, what is going on with my levels?!?
Doctor added 25mcg T3 to my 175mcg
Synthroid
dose yesterday. I'm taking that split into two doses during the day. I only had it once midday yesterday and once right now. It makes me feel really warm about an hour or two after taking it, but still no sweat.

How long with Hoshimotos
I went to another doctor yesterday, and without so much as an exam of my neck, or a listen with a stethoscope, he told me he would not treat me with
synthroid
because my thyroid labs are normal. TPO over 600, but thyroid labs normal. Symptoms debilitating, quality of life really bad.

It is "levothyroxine" - not "Synthroid"
And it is liothyronine not Cytomel! [i]
Drug names
In the research literature drugs are not referred to by brand names. In the context of rigorous attention to scientific data, as opposed to the world of sales and marketing, using trade names would suggest influence by commercial pressures, which
