So I'm about to start a trial of T3 tomorrow...

[Karlos]

Any advice?

I am currently taking 125mcg of Levothyroxine. Tomorrow I will be lowering the Levothyroxine to 100mcg and adding 5mcg of T3, this is under the advice of my Endo.

Thank you.

Karlos,

Good luck with your trial. My GP agreed to trial T3. Im currently on 175mgs of Levothyroxine. I have to wait approx 3 weeks for my pharmacy to obtain some T3 before I can start. Let me know how you get on.

No advice, but glad for you that you are getting a trial of T3.

I started with 10mcg T3 added to 120mcg Levo, which was then increased to 20mcg T3 and Levo dropped to 100mcg. Then in Jan tried an increasing regimen and built up to 200mcg T4 and 60mcg T3 - no good, felt awful. Then 4 weeks ago the T4 was cut completely, and am increasing T3 to 80mcg. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Best wishes

Jenni
