i stopped nature throid 3 days ago and did a yellow card and contacted supplier as i think they were a bad batch

my pulse slowed down yesterday and is now 50-65 from 80-100

last year when my pulse was 50 i called dr and he said he wasnt worried

i cannot get any more nature throid as chemist has been unable to get the last 3 lots

im not sure if dr will prescribe me anything else other than levo

ive been taking Thyroid by nutri-pak that i brough a long time ago and stopped taking them

im not sure what T's are in them but it says 130mg thyriod tissue

i should have started 3 grains a month ago and become very unwell so have only just been managing 1 12/ grains daily

has my pulse slowed because im under medicated?

these are what im taking now and i really dont know how much to take

Mandy, Unfortunately they don't specify how much T4 and T3 the tablets contain. As you've been taking NDT you may not need to start as low as half a tablet.

Website says: Typically most people need to build up over several weeks to a level between 1½ and 2½ tablets daily.

Begin by taking half to one tablet daily*. Generally it is found to be safe to start at a half tablet daily (providing the heart is not weak) and to hold at that dose for 3 to 14 days (an absolute minimum of 3 days).

*Some very sensitive individuals may even find half a tablet daily overly stimulating in which case start at ¼ tablet daily.

Increase the amount you are taking by half tablet and maintain that amount for another three to fourteen days before increasing again; until you feel you have achieved your optimal level.
