It's quite easy to change over. Dependent upon your levo dose - 25mcg of T3 is approx in effect between 75 and 100mcg levo. If you've been on levo already, usually you can just switch over but I would use a slightly lower dose of T3 initially and then work up every 2 weeks with an increase of 1/4 or 1/2 and towards your optimum take 1/4 only and you can then drop back easily to the previous dose. Always keep an eye on temp and pulse initially as a guide.
