Could you expand a bit more, please? There are several ways in which I could read your question and each would need a different answer.

What dose of T 4 are you on? 1 grain of NDT is roughly equivalent to between 75 and 100mcg of thyroxine. Some people are able to start on 1 grain but I had to starters slowly on 1/2 a grain. I did get terrible anxiety to start with ANC each time I increased but it did eventually settle down. Xx
