I've just started adding T3 to NDT so it's too soon to report on how it'll turn out - I'm still playing around with it.

I reduced my NDT right back down as I was getting pulse rate over 100, so now back down to 1 grain a day but have added in 6.25mcg T3 to try to stop the 2.00pm fatigue. Today it didn't work so have had an extra 6.25mcg T3......

many people take them together. i know of some on NDT who must also take some extra t3 in order to rid themselves of all their symptoms. if they try to get rid of the t3, symptoms come back. personally, i took NDT and t3 for a long time and did terribly--did much better when i finally got rid of the synthetic t3 altogether. my doctor says that taking NDT and t3 together is unusual b/c the ratio of t3 to t4 is already higher in (porcine) NDT than it is in humans, but i do know that many seem to need the additional t3 despite this. seems to be totally individual and a question of trial and error (unfortunately).
