Saw Dr P last week. Have stopped levothyroxine and been on Nutri Adrenal Extra for 4 days taking one tablet. I feel awful, wired but still really weak, headache, restless, can't sleep and palpitations. I'll phone Dr P on Monday and only take half tomorrow. Anyone else had similar experience? x

Lainey03, NAX is too strong for some. If 1/2 NAX isn't an improvement you might try Nutri-Adrenal. Ask Dr.P how long he wants you to stop Levothyroxine when you speak to him.

Yes. If we've been on levo he asks us to stop for 10 days, (T4 takes about 4 to 6 weeks to diminish) so it gives NAX a little time. If you're feeling to unwell, and cannot contact him by phone you might have to make your own decision.
Others who have followed his procedure will also comment.
I had the same problem under dr P s guidance and couldn't tolerate NAX . I swapped to Thorne cortex adrenal and still am taking it . It seems that some people cant tolerate the adrenaline in the whole adrenal so by taking the cortex only you do better.
Just my experience !

Thanks for your comments/advice. I'm taking half NAX and palpitations have stopped. Just have to see if I can increase dose. x
